Design is the business of translating value between systems such as cultural meaning as products into profits. For products to be sustainable today the design process must include life-cycle-analysis a materials passport showing where and how the materials are made or grown and what will happen when it is no longer wanted. Responsible design means thinking of how it will affect our grand-children and engineering for second lives until disassembly and return. It has never been a more interesting time to work intentionally for better products and service for people, planet and good business practices.
The design process for Circular business development is complex and works best in flat collaboration with experts and stakeholders. Working at Impact Hubs in a network of experienced professionals allows me to build and facilitate projects with small teams specific for each project. We are curious, passionate and eager to innovate and co-create with you.
I’ve design home products since the ’90s and for the last two years using methods such as Design Thinking, Systems and Service Design mapping and product design practices in workshops and consulting. It’s been great working with companies like Aplantis.ch in Bern to develop new products for LuWaSA shown at the 2018 Designer’s Saturday. I coached Hugh Welden of evocco.com on the UX/UI of their award-winning carbon counter App for shoppers. Recently, I enjoyed the role of mentor with a team at Internation Trade Centers CDP operations to innovate their core operations processes. I also initiate on complex challenges with systems thinking, dialogue spaces and social lab developments with Collaboratio Helvetica.
