For ages I was searching for an absolute expert on this topic. A sustainability expert. Someone who not only talks about sustainability, but someone who's living it. Every single day. Someone with an actual solution and answers to the many questions I have, which are probably the same questions you have as well.
Ankita Dwivedi led Architecture and Design teams for top Fortune 100 firm projects, across the globe, for 20 years. But, decided to leave business-as-usual behind. She had a bigger purpose, a bigger calling. The set up the platform: FirstPlanit.com
Ankita devoted herself to transform the industry by breaking down its traditional walls and helping it embrace change. So… definitely another live podcast episode of the world Beyond Interior Design!
“Designers are not aware of how much power they have” - Ankita DwivediThe world around us has changed rapidly, we know that. But our profession, our working method, hasn’t. That’s why our profession is often, especially for the outside world, too much about trends these days. Fast trends. It's about consumerism, about 'buying happiness’. While it should be about sustainability, a higher purpose, about the long term…
Know that we interior designers are very important in creating awareness in sustainability. In making it happen. We are the shackle in the middle of the chain. On one hand our clients, the consumers. On the other hand the producers, the manufacturers.We have the power, because we are in the middle of it, to advice - and educate them both. To increase the demand for sustainable, healthy products. We CAN create a positive change.
I'm so happy to have Ankita in our Beyond Interior Design Podcast. She deserves the spotlight. I'm so grateful, to be able to make her voice louder. To share her message with our global design community. Join us. Together we have te power to design this world!
