Statement

The development of technology has brought speed and ease to our everyday lives, yet it has also resulted in creating new, complext problems in our ever changing world. Abundant access to information makes it harder to sort through fact and fiction, social media has sparked mental health concerns, convenience has led to unhealthy lifestyles and food choices, and we can argue that greed and perception has taken a toll against environmental conservation efforts adn the protection of animals.

But how do we find solutions to these complex problems?

We believe the answer lies within design. As designers, we have the opportunity to provide creative solutions to these issues. We hope that by viewing our work, you are able to see the urgency of these issues we face and the possible impact that design could have in providing solutions. 

We hope to emerge into a world where we can create positive change as designers of the future.
