Creative Director & Designer
Member since 2009
Design is crucial in making a difference: instead of predicting the future – we create the future. It is important that we as designers join to raise awareness, change opinions and use our creative skillset for improving the life of people and the planet. I believe that design must be recognized for its potential to improve – not only products but society. Creativity and design could potentially solve present and future global challenges, which is why design thinking is crucial. Climate change is a massive challenge that calls for our collective resourcefulness. Design thinking, aesthetic sustainability and a circular design economy must come into play. We must rethink the way we approach consumption and production in a world seriously threatened by global warming and pollution.
Design is the way I express myself and how I add value to the world. My hope and intention with design is to change structures of society so we can become more sustainable and make a positive change at large. I aspire to achieve this through design thinking and specifically urban mobility design which was my point of departure for the Biomega bikes – my personal take on how we can make the future greener by addressing a micro aspect through qualitative design.
