Kennedy Castelli
Climate designer focusing on industrial design to reintegrate nature into urban environments
I am passionate about work that aligns with my values. Perception of nature and wildlife has morphed since the Industrial Revolution and I design to remember the truth of nature and to reintegrate it into human life, and reintegrate human life with nature. I design products and experiences with a focus on biophilia and human connection, doing this allows enrichment and pride within the consumer. I am passionate about material research, bio based solutions and focusing on what happens to a product at the end of it's life cycle. My BFA in Industrial Design allowed me to be fully immersed in the research, conceptualization, and implementation of products. This means I am well experienced and strong in primary and secondary research, interviewing users, sketching, digital rendering, 3D modeling, physical prototyping, manufacturing. Having the knowledge of the complete design process allows my involvement beginning to end.
