CIRCULAR DESIGN & SUSTAINABLE INNOVATION STRATEGY FOR FOOTWEAR
HUB Footwear 2019/2020
As footwear design and sustainability intern at a local footwear brand in The Netherlands, I initiated and completed an intensive product sustainability assessment, created a roadmap for sustainable innovation, and provided illustrative concept designs following various circular design principles.

Multiple complete product disassemblies of existing products in the brand’s portfolio provided direct insights into the product architecture and sustainability of the product. Based on these insights, a strategic roadmap for sustainable product innovation was detailed. This roadmap contained three phases: Materialization; Modularity; Mono-Material. All three phases were accompanied with an early concept design, illustrating opportunities within the different circular design principles.
