Hi, I'm Ami and I currently live in South Africa where I am trying to apply permaculture design at my home. I have a diploma (and work experience) as a graphic designer, brand strategist and visual communicator. In 2010 I started a small business called Pippin where I curated vintage and pre-owned clothing for woman tried of "mass produced crap", this marked the beginning of my interest in alternatives to established design practices. I am currently coming to the end of my post-grad in design culture where I looked at how different social designers are proposing initiatives that put people and planet above profit-incentive. I think we have a responsibility to understand the way design structures and compromising our livelihoods and ecosystems, and I think methodologies like Permaculture are fundamental to building an alternative vision of decentralised, self-reliant and just communities. Compelling visual communication is central to this vision becoming a reality.Interact
