Sustainability and Circular design need to become more than a marketing campaign. Waste is such an inseparable part of what we create as Designers. With the opportunity to attend the Renewal Workshop in Hood River, Oregon, I worked on creating unique one a kind pieces from defective goods. Over three days we contemplated what it means to create circular product, and how to avoid the common issues that send so much product to landfills. This is just the beginning, but a great eye opening experience that continues to inform how I work.
