This Is Modest

Primarily a service-based and educational entity, we promote a new wave of design that understands the positive impact that localized product-design and production can have on social and environmental systems. We work to strengthen Maker Communities who wish to develop their design and making skills, creating goods that predominantly utilize native plant-based resources cultivated in managed forest systems or reforestation scenarios, in order to help rebuild natural systems. Through our projects with Non-profit / Community partners, we deploy Designers and Makers for skills-building exchanges and/or modest-scale fabrication opportunities. Through our projects we aim to demonstrate a working and accessible regenerative design model, whilst disseminating vital ecological comprehension over how we can design with and for natural and social systems.
