Making room for circles
Sometimes the work that matters most starts with the simplest question: how do we show people what's possible?
I designed two digital publications for Circular Wallonia showcasing local businesses leading the region's circular economy transition: a food truck switching to reusable containers, bicycle repair programmes, soap makers closing local supply loops.
My design challenge: make circular economy policy feel concrete and human, not abstract. I made every visual choice in service of that: turning case studies that could have read as dry reports into stories a non-specialist would actually want to read.
My deliverable: A full-length report and a condensed summary version, both designed to inspire action, not just inform.
What stayed with me wasn't just the variety of solutions, but how design became a kind of bridge. Each visual choice was a choice in service of making these stories feel tangible, specific, less like theory and more like Tuesday afternoon.
Beyond the deliverables themselves, this project reminded me of something I think we've lost track of in all our talk about sustainability: the quiet, daily practice of repair. Of reuse. Of reimagining what we already have.
I'm grateful to Möbius Business Redesign for trusting me with work that matters, and to the patient collaborators at IDEA Consult, ICEDD, and SPW Wallonie who kept me on track (and kindly tolerated my broken French).
