Croc
Croc is a conceptual university design project rooted in sustainability, circular thinking, and creative accessibility. The idea reimagines the fine art paintbrush as a leased product made from locally sourced waste materials, designed to support artists through a more responsible and practical model. The project explores a circular system in which damaged bristles can be replaced, and materials recovered, reducing waste while helping remove barriers between the artist and their craft. Below is a selection of work that reflects the thinking, design process, and purpose behind the concept.
