Lynsey Gibson

Redress Design Award 2018 Finalist

Meet The Designer

“In today’s current climate, I believe there should only be the option of being a sustainable designer. I can no longer work in an industry that puts profit over the environment or consumption over humanitarian concern. Through my work I want to elevate the idea of sustainable design and to re-imagine what sustainability can look like through the manipulation of waste.”
