Ecosketch

Helping designers and engineers incorporate sustainability with user-friendly analytics and visualization tools for life cycle assessments.

About the project

This project created more usable analytics and visualization tools to help product designers and engineers understand and act upon sustainability considerations, focusing on life cycle assessment (LCA). We partnered with Synapse Product Development and EarthShift Global to ensure our tools were tailored to the needs of real-world practitioners.

EcoSketch has since been acquired by EarthShift Global and is now available on the market as MatterPD. Visit the MatterPD website for more details.
