Hi, I’m Nigel Keen, a sustainability-driven product designer based in Brooklyn, NY.
About Me
Products of Design SVA
I’m a recent graduate of the MFA Products of Design program at The School of Visual Arts in New York City. I come from a technical & science background, with a focus on manufacturing and sales. I believe in the power of design to change the way we interact with the world around us.
In 2021, I decided to pursue a career in design to become an active participant in finding solutions for the global climate crisis.
Because our current and future challenges are multidisciplinary, I believe my skillsets in business, design, and engineering are valueable in tackling the existential threats we are confronted with as a society and a global economy.
I enjoy working on complex problems that require collaboration across a wide variety of stakeholders, and building community. My work aims to foster solutions towards a circular economy that are better for businesses, consumers, and the planet through compelling products, experiences, and visual storytelling.
