Magalie Pedrono’s Summary

2008: Master in Management of innovation projects and entrepreneuriat

Initially formed as industrial designer, I don't find interests any more to be working in a domain in which the main purpose is to create objects for mass consumption. That's why, for 2 years already, I have chose to work on social design.
I more especially exercise my creativity so it serve for the development of responsible lifestyles, by proposing alternative systems which make it possible to adopt a reduced and reasoned consumption, for example.
I use now design's tools and strategy in order to attract the consumers towards more responsible behaviors, and to gradually allow them to be autonomous (in their acts, their thought etc.).
I thus consider my work as a help to transition and my main motivation is anchored in the urgency that there is to modify our Western lifestyle massively. I would like to contribute to it by proposing adapted services.

I am therefore interested in all that is sustainable design, social design, slow design and eco-systemic thinking…

DEGREE PROJECT about Sustainable Clothing
I'm working on the creation of a system (product and service) socially responsible and economically viable which allows the people aware about overconsumption to recycle their own cloths.
To contribute thus, while moving away from the current models of consumption to reduce pollution related to the overproduction of clothing.
