Ecological Design

Elsa graduated from Schumacher College with an MA Ecological Design Thinking – Distinction, completed August 2023.

Her thesis was titled; Rebellion, Art and the Reclamation of Ourselves: A Journey to Hope in a Time of Ecological and Existential Crises.

Ecological Design to her now, is a suite of approaches, methods and ways of thinking that enable projects to progress in harmonious yet profoundly impactful ways.

Being able to embrace complexity through systems thinking and an awareness of ecological principles has been invaluable in projects to date.

As an ecological designer, my approach to consultancy revolves around integrating sustainable solutions into various design projects. I aim to create spaces and systems that not only minimize environmental impact, but also enhance the well-being of the users. By taking a holistic approach, I ensure that the design considers the interconnectedness of people, nature, and the built environment. This involves engaging with clients and stakeholders to understand their needs, as well as promoting a cheerful and positive atmosphere through the incorporation of natural elements and biophilic design principles. My goal is to not only achieve ecological sustainability, but also to uplift the overall experience and spirit within the designed spaces.
