Iris Bekkers
Regenerative designers, researcher and entrepreneur at irisamberdesign
Studio irisamberdesign researches and designs on the intersection of humans and nature. The studio focuses on the question of how we can coinhabit with nature. It examines how design can have a positive effect and restore ecosystems.
To design for both human and nature, principles such as nature-inclusive design and circularity are applied. This translates into activities such as concept development, creative research and providing advice on design choices in projects where people and nature come together.
"I explore ways to better co-inhabit this world with nature. I believe that connection—with both others and the natural world—is essential, allowing us to learn from each other and from nature. Collaboration, I feel, is key to restoring and nurturing flourishing ecosystems."
