G'day, how's it rocking? I'm currently studying Industrial Design at RMIT, Melbourne. At the moment I'm on a self directed study tour around Australia, looking at projects relating to sustainable design and living, along with renewable energy.

I'm interested in creating ways of reviving and remembering old ways of community and living, but infusing it with the new knowledge we now have. I think all this carry on about climate change, global recessions and all the rest is an amazing opportunity to recreate how we live, so we're more connected to the people, places and environment of where we live, while not cutting off from the rest. I see it as a chance to redesign our systems and way of living, to reduce our impact, while improving our quality of life.

Once I get back to Melbourne I'm keen to get something happening and get involved with what's already happening. Not quite sure what yet, but I'll see once I get back.

I've got a blog running, documenting the projects that I've looked in to. The address is,
