159: What Is Vegan Design? With Cayla Maki Pittman and Dave Pittman from Harmless Studio
One of my favorite things to discover on this podcast, is the way moving in a Vegan direction can open up your life. The practice of limiting and eliminating the use of animals as products can open up your awareness to what is happening all around us and how important our choices are.This week we find out what makes design “Vegan."What Makes a Design Firm “Vegan?"We know that being Vegan is not just what we eat, but what makes a business Vegan? Our guests, Cayla Maki Pittman and Dave Pittman of Harmless.Studio in Maine, do design and marketing for people making the world better, with a focus on vegan and sustainable projects.The clue is in the name of their studio - Harmless.Not long ago there was more resistance among manufactures and retailers toward using the world “VEGAN." I still run into it, but in today’s conversation with Cayla and Dave you get a sense of a new generation of businesses who are embracing the word as well as the ethos. Cayla is an interactive designer and digital marketer. She studied Interactive Design at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD).Cayla also holds a certificate in management from Harvard Business School, and has been recognized by United Nations, the University of Pennsylvania's Center for Social Impact Strategy, and PETA.Dave is an award-winning interdisciplinary designer and former creative director at the multinational ad agency Y&R (Young & Rubicam). As a designer, he has worked for Fortune 100 companies, global NGOs, and everywhere in between. He is a certified vegan interior designer and holds a master's degree in industrial design also from the Rhode Island School of Design, where he also sometimes teaches.Cayla and Dave Pittman are the perfect team to introduce us to the concerns, opportunities and challenges of “designing while Vegan,” as they aim for sustainable and harmless. Find out more about Cayla and Dave Pittman at their website: https://harmless.studio. The book Dave mentions in our conversation is by Dutch artist Christien Meidertsm, Pig 05049. https://christienmeindertsma.com/PIG-05049 Christine Meiderstma’s fascinating TED talk about that project, How Pig Parts Make the World Turn is available to watch here:https://www.ted.com/talks/christien_meindertsma_how_pig_parts_make_the_world_turn?utm_campaign=tedspread&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=tedcomshareYou may also be interested in our previous interview with Vegan Interior Designer Aline Dürr on July 11, 2023 - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/vedge-your-best/id1531858713?i=1000620710713~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Plant Based / Vegan Life Coaching.
