Facing a sustainability challenge? You need a designer.
Design thinking underpins the solutions to today’s sustainability challenges, which require a systems-based approach, fluency in different disciplines, and cross-cultural collaboration. That’s where I come in:
I’m Anna Farrell and I am a designer.
My goal is to design more environmentally and socially sustainable futures. With a background in environmental research, community engagement, and visual design, I create and communicate information that motivates people to take action. Check out some of my work below to see what this means in practice.
