HOW 'DESIGN FOR 0' CHANGED MY PRACTICE
As a designer and researcher, I place great importance on ethical design. However, it wasn't until recently that I realised how fundamental it is to my practice. During one of my university subjects, I was given the task of creating a self-directed project focused on decarbonisation. This is when I came up with 'Design for 0'. The research that l discovered for 'Design For 0' motivated me to take on a personal initiative to share my knowledge with others and demonstrate how we can reform our practices, both on an individual and industry level, to reduce carbon emissions. This drive led me to share my research on my university radio station 'Radio U', which then appeared in a published article. Creating 'Design for 0' transformed my approach and thinking about design. I am now committed to sharing my knowledge within my future workplaces, to drive reform and make a positive impact on the environment.
