Rethinking Design
ABOUT
ABOUT ME
I am a curious, systems-oriented Designer, Educator & Consultant focused on impact driven results
I've taught Sustainable Design at Parsons School of Design in NYC, consult with the private and non-profit sectors to build and implement sustainable strategies for change. Through my art practice of painting, I am exploring the system of post-consumer waste in textiles.
Designing clothing has been my dream since I began sewing at age 9. I've always taken a process-oriented approach to design because I believe it makes a difference in the integrity of the products designed.
WHAT I'VE DONE
WHAT I DO
I help organizations and communities plan and realize their goals through an inclusive process of exploration, analysis, and implementation.
I design products, systems or programs that align with mission-driven organizations that seek to have a positive impact on multiple levels - people, planet, & profit
