Master of Arts in Sustainable Design

research, work, and writing on sustainable design

A sustainable designer’s role is to look at systems, products, and methods and to work to create more efficient, circular, and resilient means to an end. Often this is through an upstream approach using systems thinking or biomimetic design in combination with data to reevaluate how the desired function can be achieved. Or by determining the negative feedback loop or tipping point that needs just a little tweaking to have a new transformational desired outcome.

Be it behavior change through messaging designed to change a habit or choice or looking at how to get a product to a consumer via less impactful means my goal as a sustainable designer is to do more with less and to have people embrace that less is more!
