025 A circular approach, with Katie Treggiden

In this episode, I talk to Katie Treggiden, a purpose-driven writer and keynote speaker championing a circular approach to design – because Planet Earth needs better stories. Katie is currently exploring the question ‘can craft save the world?’ through an emerging body of work that includes her fifth book, Wasted: When Trash Becomes Treasure (Ludion, 2020), and a podcast, Circular with Katie Treggiden.

Katie explains the circular economy, what Do Good and Do Well means for her, and how money is an important factor in doing well and continuing to do good, and we discuss if craft can save the world. Katie also talks about her new mastermind programme for designer-makers.
