Design your Footprint: A blog I created in design school as an assigned project in one of my workshops. The idea behind it was to find your passion(s) and share it with others. This in turn will create debate, discussion, knowledge sharing and you might even learn a thing or two.

Side by side design and environment quickly became somewhat of an obsession for me. With the (disposable) world evolving so quickly it became evident to me we were destroying our planet, ourselves, faster than we could repair it (can we even repair it?). Leaving nothing/less for the generations after us…leaving them fucked. Pardon my English. Every action we make has a consequence. Our fast paced society doesn’t allow us to take a moment, be present and reflect on what we are leaving behind due to our daily choices. My hope is that you slow down, reflect & design a footprint you are proud of. That’s all.

My intention for this blog is to share information with you that will make you think, ponder, wonder and believe that you can make a difference with confidence. Even as one person. The size of the change is irrelevant. Whether that’s buying an electric car, starting to compost (or making your compost go further), making your own bread, becoming vegan (or just eating less meat because it has become costly), soaking your beans vs using canned beans or living off the grid. So if you ever thought about or wanted to make some changes to your lifestyle but felt scared, lost or intimidated then you came to the right place.

Be the change.
