Element Circle Mission
We integrate biomimicry within innovation and transition projects by selecting and implementing design methods and tools that co-create interactive digital solutions. Our services cover areas within industry and science.
Element Circle Middle 
Our expertise lies in guiding you toward optimal design strategies and methods tailored to your unique context and needs. We organise design and research activities for the co-creation of innovative products, services, policies, and educational programs. Our focus is on addressing innovation and nature-oriented challenges such as water management, energy transition, urban planning, and sustainable practices in for example the cosmetics and clothing industries.

We integrate the biomimicry method, to learn from nature, by first exploring its potential for your project. This is followed by establishing an (interdisciplinary) design and biomimicry process and creating a 'biologised' design brief. This approach leads to the development of several concepts through bio-inspired co-creation workshops. A ‘bird eye view’ is essential to this process, and visual models are used to support the sharing and evaluation of concepts.
Biomimicry within Service Design process
 
             
  Design
A practical and inclusive approach in which we involve all stakeholders in the design process.
  Research
We acquire new knowledge through design, from a situational and participatory perspective.
  Education
Create and implement strategies and tools together, so that learning is relevant.
