As the founder of Ecokari, I believe circularity isn’t just a stage—it’s a mindset. Here’s how we keep it central to everything we do: 🔁 Design with purpose Timeless, durable pieces made to be loved for years—not seasons. ♻️ Rethink materials We use handwoven, upcycled, and natural fabrics (like hemp, bamboo, etc), giving waste and torn textiles a beautiful second life. 👩🏾🎨 Support ethical craft We collaborate with mostly women artisans to preserve traditional skills and build local circular economies. -Lead with transparency Every product tells a story—from who made it to its impact. At Ecokari, circular design isn’t just our process—it’s our promise. 💚 #CircularDesign #SustainableFashion #UpcycledStyle #Ecokari #EthicalLiving

In my last product management role, I integrated circular design principles by prioritizing modularity and durability—ensuring components could be replaced or upgraded instead of discarded. I also leveraged cradle-to-cradle design, selecting materials that could be fully recycled or biodegraded. To maintain a circular focus, I implemented digital twin technology, allowing real-time tracking of materials and wear, optimizing reuse strategies. Additionally, I collaborated with suppliers to adopt closed-loop manufacturing, reducing waste in production. Finally, I gamified consumer engagement, offering incentives for returning used products, reinforcing sustainability through active participation.
