Biomimicry Product Development Manager

For the Biomimicry Product Development Manager, natural and ecological thinking is the starting point for developing sustainable and functional designs. Technology and the experience of form and material play an ever greater role. The biomimicry Life’s Principles provide direction in designing products, devising architecturally sustainable solutions, optimising building layouts, minimising packaging materials and incorporating behavioural aspects into the design.
