I am excited to share a pivotal step in my commitment to sustainable design! Just wrapped up the "Learning Design for Sustainability" course, and it's been an eye-opening journey into shaping a future that's #environmentally conscious and #sociallyresponsible. In a world grappling with environmental, economic, and social challenges, the call for sustainable solutions has never been louder. Designers hold a unique role in steering the path towards a future that's not just prosperous but also considerate of our neighbors and #ecosystems. Led by a distinguished designer, educator, and author, this course delves deep into the philosophy of #sustainabledesign. It isn't just about objects; it's about reimagining the built environment and services to align with the principles of #social, #economic, and #ecological #sustainability. From uncovering the essence of sustainability to embracing sustainable development goals, the course navigated through the invaluable lessons of nature as a mentor and strategies to induce behavioral change through design. Technical and social innovations were unveiled, showcasing how real change is possible across diverse disciplines. Defining sustainability in design Embracing sustainable development goals Nature-inspired design philosophy Leveraging design for behavioral change Technical and social innovation for real change Armed with this knowledge, I'm poised to channel my design skills towards crafting solutions that don't just meet our needs but also preserve our planet.  #DesignForSustainability #EnvironmentalConsciousness #SocialResponsibility 🌿💡 #sustainabledesign.

Super to see so many people engage with sustainability and upskilling. More on demand courses on designing for net zero, circularity and value measurement are going to be added very soon!

Sustainable Designers are making great strides in identifying the World's largest problems and developing methods to creatively shift our society, businesses and organizations to be more sustainable. I am pleased to share that I have finished Learning Design for Sustainability and I have learnt a wide range of Sustainability strategies, methods, tools and frameworks that will help me contribute significantly to my community, businesses and Organizations to a more sustainable tomorrow. I have gained knowledge on: 1. Green Design 2. Eco-Design 3. Sustainable product design 4. Design for sustainability 5. Transformative design.

As it's International Education Day we thought we'd share our education ethos. As sustainability advocates, we know how important education is for moving things in a positive direction.  Our education ethos: "We endeavour to showcase the most sustainable approaches and materials with our clients and through our online platforms. We aim to offer conversational concepts that will drive the sustainable agenda further. We are committed to keeping up to date with sustainable research by reading published articles, books and attending courses so we can offer our design services with confidence." Why is sustainability important for the interior design industry? - The construction industry is said to account for 40% of the world's global emissions. - Promotes responsible consumption and production patterns. - Promotes efficient use of energy, water, and materials. - Creates healthier indoor environments with non-toxic materials. - Leads to cost savings through efficiency and resource conservation. - Considers product lifecycles for durability and reduced replacements. - Keep ahead of the game with evolving regulations and expectations. Let's design a sustainable future together! #sustainability #interiordesign #educationday #sustainableinteriors #sustainabilityleadership #bcorp

"Designers are a crucial part of the solution set needed to address the SDGs. But unless they are given resources, time, and skill-development space, then it really is up to each individual designer to enhance their skills in delivering a more socially and environmentally-aligned design." ⏫ From an article I wrote for the first edition of the World Design Organization's new joint publication with domus.
