In her first Design Star video, Heather walks us through her "Sustainable Toolkit," a kit of all the supplies she keeps on hand at all times to help her design anything & everything in a sustainable way. After going over these tools, Heather discovers that her plan for a hanging installation won't work in the space she's designing in, so she walks us through her process of troubleshooting onsite and making it work with the help of her handy Sustainable Toolkit, of course!
As designers, the ability to pivot at a moment's notice is so important, so we hope Heather's video gives you the confidence & tools you need to think on your feet and create beautiful designs while also keeping the environment in mind and not always needing to fall back on old, less sustainable mechanics. Though if you do, don't beat yourself up! Sometimes you have no other option, and the fact that you are aware and can try again next time is a HUGE step in the right direction! Perfection is unrealistic, so be gentle with yourself on your journey to sustainable floristry.
