Living Permaculture
Adventures in designing for Earth care, People care & Fairshares
Interior Design: Post Diploma Pathway
January 2015
Overview
I've been procrasinating about this design for a while. Knowing it needs to be done but always having something more urgent to attend to. Even now, other projects really need design attention - farm, woodland, business, orchard.....
Yet I feel at a point where most of these designs imply quite life-changing choices for me, and considerable commitment to see them through. I feel I'm at a kind of a crossroads, only it's one that's more like a spaghetti junction, than a simple country road!
I need to get some clarity, some intentions for the future, I'm coming up to the end of the diploma & I want to make sure I make some good decisions and I want to be happy with my choices.
So it's a self care & people care design.
Process
I'm using Looby's Design Web again for this project, I need some structure to guide me, yet it needs to be flexible along the way.
