CHRISTINA ROBINSON
Interior Architect, environmentalist and activist for sustainable design. Student at Falmouth University, 2021 graduate. I have travelled extensively, and as a result, believe I am good at listening to and understanding different personality types and cultural backgrounds, as well as gaining independence and organisation skills. Keeping an open mind has allowed me to work in a number of areas from design to hospitality, whilst being able to move around. I use what I learn from my experiences and put it in to practice in my work. I believe that creative subjects have the potential to activate change. It is designers who can’t be 'overtaken' by robots and therefore designs will remain organic in nature and nurture, which is vital for our planet and ecosystems. I was once told I was “studying exactly the right thing, at exactly the right time”. Which is why I do what I do. In short, we are the future, we must be environmental designers, we are change.
