WORK HISTORY
Chair-ciruclar Design Council @Industrial Designers Society Of America Idsa
US
IDSA HQ reached out with the proposition of creating a startup within IDSA to headline a program that I initiated and advocated as Chair/President of the Board of Directors. Based on my successes with creating the first ever Sustainability Deep Dive for Industrial Designers, we had record numbers of attendees from all over the world. Building off those successes, I have created a team that is world-class and is contributing at every level to ensure that Circular Design is synonymous with ID until there is no longer a need for it.
