BIOMIMICRY CONSULTING
RENEWABLE ENERGY TRAINING
As a biomimicry consultant I walk each client from their design challenge to a suite of inherently material and energy efficient, innovative design solutions through the implementation of the Biomimicry Thinking Design Methodology:
In the "Scoping Phase" I work with your team to determine what your true design challenge is. We will translate your design challenge into the core functions that product or service must perform, functions that are found in nature. Here we collaborate to identify what the product should DO (verb), as opposed to what the product should BE (noun).
In the "Discovery Phase" I utilize the identified functions to undergo an extensive search throughout the biological spectrum to uncover those organisms that optimally accomplish functions that meet the desired functional needs of your product/process. I gain an understanding of how the strategies work, and it's underlying mechanism, which is how function is achieved. I then abstract the design principles from the biology to inform an innovative new product/process design solution.
In the "Creating Phase" your product/process innovation team and I brainstorm Bio-inspired innovation solutions based on the abstracted principles elucidated above.
In the "Evaluating Phase" your product/process innovation team and I assess the product/process alignment with Nature's Life Principles (L.P.'s). We assess if more aspirational goals need to be met and determine opportunities for improvement in future product/process iterations.
