Conscious Design

Regenerative Real Estate Podcast
Written By Neal Collins (he/him)

The world we design for is the world we get. That's why we are excited to share this episode with you featuring designer Ian Peterman. Ian's firm specializes more in the products that we fill our homes with than the actual design of a property, but the underlying design philosophy is one and the same: creating environmentally and socially just products, brands, and companies.

In this episode Ian introduces listeners to the "conscious design" category and gives us highlights into how both large and small companies are beginning to redesign their products, packaging, and supply chains. For some it is easy to begin from scratch, for others it is a multi-year journey to unravel a complicated, opaque global supply chain.

Be sure to visit the Peterman Design Firm, read Ian's book "Conscious Design", or tune into his podcast of the same name, "Conscious Design Podcast."

As more individuals and businesses express a growing interest in embracing sustainability and regeneration, we often hear the question, "How can we achieve this?" This inquiry has its roots in my personal journey, which began several years ago when I found myself at a crossroads in my real estate career.
