Recycled, 100% organic, biodegradable, and with fully-traceable supply chains wherever possible. I champion sustainable materials and a local, ethical approach that respects both labour and planet. Sustainable means lightening the resource load on the planet; reducing pollution; paying workers fairly and offering decent labour conditions. Where possible, my work will always use fully-traceable supply chains and the most ecological material solutions available at the time.
From the start of a project I apply co-design principles for participation and collaboration in design. I am trained in co-design and apply creative collaboration methodologies to listen to the user and design solutions based on end-user experience.
My practice is informed by a desire to tackle the inescapable reality of resource extraction and its devastating impact on nature. I am informed by questions of how we might apply design to reset our relationship to nature; challenge design’s relationship to capital that props-up the status-quo; intervene in destructive supply chains; and create eco-logical design solutions to furnish the desperately-necessary circular, steady-state economy. In practical terms, this means researching and applying the best material and fabrication solutions available at the time that cause minimal harm to people or planet.
