Awe is a well-known benefit of access to nature- it helps moderate stress, gives a sense of purpose, and can help with innovation and creativity. But awe can also be created in small ways in the workplace and in workplace-adjacent experiences. What a great way to find synergies between nature, sustainability, and human health and well-being.

A topic (or three!) I could probably talk about forever. It's not just us creatives that appreciate something being designed well - with 90% of things processed by our brains being visual. Using design to portray important messages have become pivotal. My recent blog explores the intersection of graphic design, sustainability, and mental health. It's fascinating to witness how design principles can greatly impact these critical aspects of our lives. #mentalhealth #sustainability #sustainabledesign #graphicdesign #bantergroup

What if your personal problem solving journey had the power to not only transform your own challenges but also drive meaningful change in society? My personal problem of logistical barriers with access to digitally purchased secondhand furniture was actually larger than it initially seemed. Social isolation, often exacerbated by challenges like the one I faced, contribute significantly to loneliness and mental health concerns. It’s a sentiment that many individuals, especially those navigating life’s challenges alone, can empathise with. Our connection to community directly correlates with our life expectancy. Simply put, the more connected we are to our community, the longer and healthier our lives tend to be. Access to secondhand furniture isn’t just about convenience; it’s a critical component of our planet’s future. If we continue to consume resources at the current pace, we will need 3 times the natural resources available on this planet by 2050. An average household takes 45 tons of raw materials to furnish. When it comes to furnishing your homes, buying new isn’t just costly, it is often overlooked strain on the environment. A solution I have dedicated myself to, a community platform using our software application based product that leverages technology to make it easier for people to access second-hand furniture. I have built my business to bridge the gap between our need for access, our desire for community and the urgent call for responsible consumption. We are proud that our business aligns with the UN sustainable development goals and #agenda2030 Thank you SEVENTEENx and Lot Fourteen for inviting me to speak about our mission at Cobber Technologies PTY LTD. Thanks RAA for continued support in our community and sponsoring the event. Thank you for the amazing work that you do and it was a pleasure to meet you in person Mick Hase 🚀 And what an amazing turn out and hearing from my fellow speakers who are change leaders was quite inspirational.

Each member of our team possesses a unique artistic flair that extends far beyond the confines of the workplace. For instance, our Senior Designer finds solace in creating biro drawings of majestic big cats, finding it both therapeutic and a means to relax. 🐯✍🏼 However, our belief in the power of creativity extends far beyond personal hobbies. Creativity serves as a catalyst for multifaceted growth: - Enhances problem-solving skills by fostering innovative thinking and unconventional approaches. 🧩 - Creativity bolsters self-confidence by providing avenues for self-expression and accomplishment. 💪🏼 - Enriches emotional intelligence by promoting introspection, empathy, and self-awareness. 🥲 - Fuels innovation by challenging conventional norms and inspiring groundbreaking ideas. 💡 - Ignites curiosity, propelling individuals to explore new realms of possibility and discovery. 🔍 In essence, creativity is not just a trait but a transformative force that enriches every aspect of our lives. #nationalcreativityday #lvc #designteam #designdepartment #creativity #wellbeing #innovation #creativityday

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗘𝗺𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗵𝘆 𝗠𝗮𝗽 is more than a tool; it's a window into the experiences of others. Consider a nature enthusiast whose health now limits their access to the outdoors. Through the map, we hear their reminiscence, "It was beautiful," and sense their longing in statements like "I wish I could experience things as I used to." Empathy drives innovation. It pushes us beyond mere functionality towards inclusive design that resonates on a deeper, emotional level. How can we bridge the gap between limitation and experience? Perhaps through virtual reality nature walks or creating accessible outdoor spaces that cater to various needs. 👣 As we strive to innovate, let's use empathy not just to understand what people do, say, think, and feel, but to connect and create solutions that bring the essence of their desires to life. How have you used empathy to drive positive change? #EmpathyInDesign #UserExperience #InclusiveDesign #Innovation
