It's a well-known fact that the world is going downhill because of what humans have done to it and I believe that the solution to this is getting conservationists working with designers to not only create better solutions to current problems but also to begin clearing up the mess made up until now.
My current experience has given me an insight into the 3 most important aspects: what's going wrong (conservation), the ability to communicate to everybody involved (teaching) and how to fix it (design). I not only have the experience, but also the passion to invest my time and effort into these solutions, iterating as I go to produce the best possible outcomes.
