Design Outside the Box
Design Outside the Box is a project that encourages designers to connect with nature and use it as a tool/inspiration in their process. My inspiration behind the project stemmed from the desire to combat creative block and lack of inspiration within designers. With this project I put on a series of design workshops encouraging designers to create in nature. My final artefact is a book, ‘Designing Outside the Box: Encouraging designers to embrace and connect with nature’ that documents my entire project.
