DESIGN BACKWARDS

n ised

Monday, October 15, 2012

the major goal of celery is to shift clients the focus of green design from a battle over cost, to a strategic conversation about value. to do this, celery design works to design backwards, which is a process where designers take a mental journey, starting from a design projects ultimate destination and working backwards until arriving back at the design studio. along the way of this brainstorm process, designers gain knowledge that informs choices made. this knowledge enables celery to avoid roadblocks that may prevent green solutions.

OPINION

i really enjoyed exploring this company, and am really impressed by the work they do. not only do they nd great eco-friendly solutions, but they do so in creative, fun and well-designed ways. one thing i really love is how theyve began looking at the problem of their high cost products scaring customers away, and how theyre working to solve this by giving their products multiple functions that exist past the initial product function. i really appreciate their way of solving problems.

thanks!
