Danielle Elsener is a fashion designer and Royal College of Art graduate who champions zero-waste design.
She started sewing at 11, using whatever materials were around her, and she now approaches pattern-making as a 3D puzzle in which nothing goes to waste. Her project DECODE, a Zero Waste Scrub Set released as a free, size-inclusive downloadable pattern when scrubs were hard to find during the pandemic, won the $2,000 Fashion Design Grant of the IDA Covid-19 Design Innovation Grant. Her ambition is to build a complete zero-waste design world.
