Our founder + director
Lorrin Windahl is an industrial designer from Melbourne who discovered, during her master’s studies, that there was a lack of organisations providing sustainable and culturally sensitive design solutions to the impoverished. As a result she founded Designers with Soul in 2007.

Lorrin has extensive product design experience in both manufacturing and consulting. She has also spent time working as a volunteer in rural Uganda where she lived in a single room mud hut.

These experiences have led her to believe that designers have a social responsibility to meet the needs of the impoverished. She has also gained an insight into the importance of cultural sensitivity in design and how the community must take ownership of the product in order for it to be sustainable.
