Ever since I left China in 2018, and drawing on my own experiences as a designer, I’ve developed a fascination for researching the environmental impact of circular design strategies in the Textile Industry mainly to understand what drives overproduction and overconsumption and consequently what could be effective solutions to these problems. I’ve done this through a couple of big projects described below and hope to continue this work through many more collaborations in the future.
