Design Approach & ways to work together
Depths, Layers, Pathways and Cyles
Sustainability, circularity, and regeneration are all about exploring and bringing to life new possibilities, trying out different things, reflecting, learning and constantly evolving. It’s a continuous journey, a cycle.
You can think about it like a caterpillar creating a cocoon to transform into a butterfly or moth. A space and time to both come apart and reform. It seems a bit messy but also magical. On the outside it may seem still, but inside there is a lot going on
I’m here to help design, engineer and empower you to create the conditions for product and business change
