We had the distinct pleasure to interview award winning designer about their original and creative design work. is an award-winning creative designer, that makes our world a better place with their original works.
("") answered Design Interview ("DI") questions about their award-winning work . Interview questions prepared by Frank Scott.
: A cradle-to-cradle product that lessens household waste.
: Creating a planter that recycles water and coffee grounds.
: To further develop the product into a sustainable, marketable design solution.
: The design process took one month.
: Coffee is a highly effective natural plant fertilizer, but so much of it ends up in landfills. We designed a solution that uses this "waste product" to its full potential, while also minimizing waste.
: We are producing the product ourselves.
: We wanted to design a product to beautify the living environment while also helping reducing household waste.
: Coffee drinkers, people who want to reduce their environmental impact from their homes.
: Decaffeinator is a product that reduces the amount of coffee grounds dumped into landfills, thereby "decaffeinating" them.
: AutoCAD Rhinocerous Craftbot PLUS 3D Printer Formbot T-Rex+ 3D Printer
: The modular, layered design of this planter.
: Naveed Khan and Jeremy Littler (digital fabrication lab technicians).
: We used technology in every stage of the design process, from 2D drawings, to 3D models, to 3D printing.
: We conducted research to learn the effects of coffee on growing plants.
: Our greatest challenge was working within the constraints of our 3D printers
: We are interested to see how our design fares in a global competition with a wide range of jurors.
: We improved our understanding of 3D modelling and learned a lot about the 3D printing process.
