Currently I am undertaking an internship in Utrecht, Netherlands with the renowned design team consisting of Tejo Remy + Rene Veenhuizen. Through this blog I plan to document my design experience in Holland.
Design has the potential to change people;
through a combination of aesthetic excellence
with sustainable mindfulness underlying the
products function and the process used to
create it. Such a piece, is for the consumer, a
beautiful choice, a responsible choice and a
wise choice.
I have developed a strong design philosophy
throughout my studies, which supports
principals of sustainability, minimizing
the impact on our environment. Avoiding
disposable design, I aspire to produce
design which creates positive change in the
consumer. It is a designer’s responsibility to
produce socially progressive design, which
also responds to the changing environmental
context.
Threading these principals of sustainable
design through my work is a perpetual learning
process, requiring constant evaluation and
reflection. My work to date has enabled me
to practically apply the basics of sustainable
design.
