Hey
My desire to drive change,
combined with holding strong
environmental and social
values formed my
passion about designing for
sustainability.
I believe people can build
good futures by mastering a
creative, empathic and rational
mindset.
This document will
highlight to you...

p.2 - Introduction
APPROACH
hear
Design Process
create deliver
p.3 - Approach
My analytical mindset is able to
by-step approach. I work best on
individual tasks in this phase.
{
My creative mindset is able to
spot unusual patterns. I can either
be an unorthodox team-player or a
guiding and clarifying team coach.
{
My empathic mindset is able to
recognise and formalise feelings
of others. I work in the context and
with the people I am designing for.

p.5 - Work Outcomes
Easy Clip is het afstudeerproject in de vakgroep gebruiksgoe-
deren van Merel Claes, gerealiseerd in het academiejaar
2006-2007. Joos Bostoen en Marcelo Xavier van Bekaert
traden op als promotoren. Easy Clip brengt een totaaloplos-
sing voor uw documentenbeheer. We gebruiken als maar
meer kleine, tijdelijke bundels. De Clip houdt deze bundels
stevig vast. Ook uw papieren herschikken kost geen moeite.
En dankzij de perforatie kunt u alles meteen in een handige,
nieuwe ringmap opbergen.
Gewone binder
Zijn uw oude ringmappen nog niet aan
vervanging toe, dan is dat met twee
regular Easy Clips zo opgelost. Deze clip
is iets korter dan de extended. Met de
bijkomende sticker kunt u makkelijk de
correcte afstand voor uw clips bepalen,
waarna u uw bundels even makkelijk op
kunt bergen.
Easy Clip Binder
Met slechts één clip kunt u iedere bundel
in de compacte Easy Clip Binder opber-
gen. Deze handige map kunt u dankzij
zijn klein formaat makkelijk mee nemen
naar school of uw werk. Hij past zelfs in
een laptoptas.
Easy Clip
Easy Clip is een dynamische clip in roest-
vast staal. De extended Easy Clip is dank-
zij zijn lengte ideaal om op de hoek van
een bundel vastgeklikt te worden. De clip
kan ook gebruikt worden als label.
Verpakking
De Easy Clip is herbruikbaar. Daarom
wordt hij aangeboden in een makkelijk te
gebruiken verpakking. Hierin kunt u al uw
clips na gebruik terug steken. Dankzij dit
handige opbergsysteem zullen uw Easy
Clips nooit zoek raken.
Packaging
The Easy Clip is reusable,
over and over again. There-
fore it comes with this handy
package. After use, you can
replace the Easy Clip into the
package.

need to be replaced yet, you
can use the shorter Easy
Clip. Thanks to the additional
sticker, you can position two
from each other.
Easy Clip binder
With only one clip, you can
store all your bundles in the
compact Easy Clip Binder.
This handy binder can be
taken to school or work and

used as tag.
your document management.
We do use more and small and temporary
bundles of paper. The clip holds the bundles
tightly together. Re-organising your paperwork
is very easy. The perforation makes it easy to
store your bundles in the new and smaller ring
binder.

institutions can include in their policy in
order to expand their role in the sustainable
development debate by becoming long term
change agents.
The project provides a framework for internal
innovation so institutions can become learning
organisations for sustainable development.This
framework balances long term goals with short
term gains by including three levels:
strategic, tactic and operational.

E:DN was a network
for designers in Wales
focusing on Ecodesign and
Sustainability. It ran from
October 2009 to March 2011
and was managed by EDC.
Workshops
E:DN ran 10 workshops. Most workshops followed a format that
started with talks by guest speakers, following an interaction
learning by a group wrap up.
Guest speakers included international experts, designers,
companies and sector representatives. The workshops took
place in various venues in Cardiff ranging from the public library
or the local art centre to a pub or even an empty shop.
The following workshops took place:
1. Co-designing an Ecodesign network
2. Ecodesign
3. Making Sense of Sustainability

10. Design & Social Entrepreneurship
Web Platform
A web platform was launched to enhance the network. The
platform provided information on past and future network
workshops, resources for designers, links to other events,
industry news and case studies.
Registered users were able to continue the discussions on the
platform and upload case studies.
E:DN was also present on social media as: twitter, Lindedin,
Delicious, Youtube and Vimeo
The platform had following statistics:
830 unique visitors/users
82.78% of users from UK/Wales
10% users visiting 26–50 times
Other Activities
Other knowledge exchange activities of E:DN included:
Engagement with policy makers event,
Study visit to international conference,
Publications,
Informal gatherings for designers
p.8 - Work Outcomes
E:DN exchanged knowledge on methodologies, management frameworks
and processes for designing more sustainable products and packaging. The
network also exchanged knowledge on the application and use of potentially
more sustainable materials, technologies, business models and social
innovation.
