Introduction to Sustainable Design
This piece from my Fall 2012 course, Introduction to Sustainable Design, was part of a mid-semester, group project to transmaterialize a product into a service. My partner and I chose to examine children's clothing as a briefly-used, high-waste-potential product. Our design idea was to create an online business that extends the life of individual articles of clothing (keeping waste out of landfills) while saving parents money by essentially leasing outfits for their children.
