Iestyn Rhys Howorth

The Glasgow School of Art

Product Design BA / BFA

I am a highly motivated and multi disciplined Product Design student going into my final year of study at The Glasgow School of Art. Through my practice I aim to create design-led social and environmental innovations that provide a framework for a sustainable future. A demand for creating in a sustainable manner has never been more urgent than ever. The more I dive into the production and manufacturing processes of the design industry, the more shocked I am. I have a belief that bio materials offer a solution to clean up and even improve our broken design system. Keeping products and materials in use at their highest value, and regenerating natural systems must now be a priority for all designers working with tangible materials.

Working with our partners at Arts Thread to develop lifelong learning and career opportunities for students of fashion and design. Our partnership provides the opportunity to compete on a world stage, participate in industry led workshops, set up an outstanding portfolio and gain access to the resources that will kickstart careers in fashion and design.
