My work builds on the Mindset and Posture area of the Transition Design Framework taught at the Carnegie Mellon School of Design. The project investigates how meditation can be used as a tool to learn about the inner dimensions of human experience, helping designers cultivate crucial characteristics such as objectivity, openness and self awareness. Supported by a body of scientific research from psychology and neuroscience, and a wealth of design literature, the project explains how the benefits of meditation can extend to the designers work, changing the way they engage with the design process and the world. Sustainability specialisation - RMIT has taught me to be a holistic thinker, holding multiple perspectives and to use my creative problem solving power to help people and planet. Show less
