Private Lessons for Sustainable Design,
About:
Laura, Hemp Designer of Cultiva Kingdom, is recognised for her leading expertise in the use of hemp fabrics. As a strong environmentalist, her mission is to work with 100% biodegradable natural fibres which follow decarbonisation processes as a solution for one of the most polluting industries in the world. With experience in creating her own collection, she provides a specialist hemp fibre design and consultancy service after working with a breadth of international manufacturers. Previous projects have included the vegan barrister wig, 100% natural fibre packaging for small companies and sustainable home and textile products for Cultiva Kingdom (www.cultivakingdom.com).
Her mission now is to impact the next generation by teaching them about sustainable design and what difference their own work can make to the planet.
