Speaker | Circular Design Deep Dive | 2024

Designing Circular Identity 

Ever thought about the term “consumer”? It sounds like a zombie that devours everything in sight! To catalyze the circular economy, we need to not only redesign our products, but also our identities.  This talk will explore how product design, brand and social identity can create the flywheel of circular future.   

The audience will learn:  

  1. The way the language of economics has limited our moral imagination.   
  2. Examples of how design shaped social identities in the past.   
  3. How design can once again shape social identities, this time to meet the environmental challenges and opportunities of the future.
