RESEARCH
Industrial Design for Sustainable Futures
I apply my experience in manufacturing and entrepreneurship to improve the sustainability of designed objects and our built environment. Having worked in industry for over a decade, I’ve seen firsthand how products are brought to market and how rarely sustainability considerations, like carbon footprint or end-of-life scenarios, steer the roadmap.
I bring together corporate partners and interdisciplinary collaborators from the fields of ecology, agriculture, engineering and material science to prototype alternate futures through product, service, and interaction design techniques.
