I graduated with a BA (Hons) in Eco-Design from Goldsmiths University of London
with a photographic research book called ‘instinctivedesign', which captured how people creatively hack and fix things with what’s at hand. During the Graduation Show, it caught [re]design’s eye and they invited me to join them for a few projects. The family-run organisation designed Sustainable Design educational events to promote good design practices and inspire other creatives to ‘[re]design design’.

We created and produced 5 projects over 4 months, including public exhibitions and workshops within festivals across the UK and China, and a private installation in central London.
We researched, selected designers, curated and produced exhibitions and publications, engaged with the public, cooked and travelled together.

The projects were, Climate Cool by Design, for the British Council China, Guangzhou. [re]design Workshops, at Royal Festival Hall, London Design Festival. Contains, at Dott07 Festival (directed by John Thackara), Newcastle. SIT UP: Sustainable Seating Stories, at 100% Futures, 100% Design, London Design Festival. [re]design Xmas, installation at Nesta Headquarters, London.

Among the designers we featured were Chris Cattle with a prototype of a grown tree stool, recycled plastic pioneers Smile Plastics, and Cohda’s extruded waste plastic chair, which I sat
on when it was still warm.
