Second Year Competition, 2022
For the VTID 2022 Design Competition, three scenarios were given, and our groups were to propose a design intervention that can help improve or replace one scenario. All three prompts given were focused on sustainability. My team chose to follow the third prompt.
Prompt:
(3) Community consumption of single use items: For this user group, consider how an individual or group can conserve resources or achieve zero waste policies and procedures in their personal or shared space.
In collaboration with my classmates, Montgomery Ellis and Mackenzie Guillot, the idea of creating a more sustainable tea brand was born. We focused on number 3 in the prompt, by selecting tea, a single use item, we had the goal of making it achieve a lower waste in production and use.
The product
The tea completely dissolves in hot water, making a tea bag unnecessary. The tin packaging is completely recyclable.
All these renderings were made by myself.
