I will advocate for emotionally durable design.
I promote creating durable, meaningful relationships with the things we bring into our lives, and combating planned and perceived obsolescence. As a designer, I believe it's important to consider how users will adopt a product, how to remain purposeful over time, and how to adapt as their desires and behaviors change in a sustainable way.
My master's capstone team delved into this concept from the consumer perspective, looking into ways to make ownership a meaningful experience.
