WE HAVE TAKEN ALL THE GOVERNMENT DATA AND TURNED IT INTO SOMETHING VISUALLY PLEASING AND EASY TO USE - ESPECIALLY FOR DESIGNER-MAKERS.
You know you should be reducing your carbon footprint, but you’re not sure how to even calculate how much carbon your creative practice generates. They say that “what gets measured gets managed” so this course will teach you how to measure your footprint and even includes access to an easy-to-use carbon footprint calculator designed especially for designer-makers.

Katie Treggiden
I once told a business mentor that my mission was to “inspire, educate and empower designer-makers to join the circular economy.”
He told me he didn’t think I was doing that. “What?!” I said. “I’ve written books, I’ve got a podcast, I give talks on the world’s stages, I write for everybody from The Guardian to Crafts Magazine – what more can I do?!” I responded, slightly affronted.
“Oh, you’re inspiring them, for sure,” he said. “But what about the educate and empower part? What about the ‘how’?”
He was right of course and in that moment Making Design Circular was born.
I have since interviewed hundreds of designers, makers, artists and craftspeople about their sustainability journeys and beta-tested everything in the membership, short courses and 1:1 nature-informed coaching offer with brave souls who saw me embark on my own “progress over perfection” journey.
I have seen first-hand the transformation this work has had for those who have joined so far – and I want that for you too.
