Introducing: How to Turn Industrial Waste into Products & Furniture
A 3-module self-paced programme that will help you to:
Hey, I'm Katie Treggiden
I once told a business mentor that my mission was to “inspire, educate and empower designer-makers to join the circular economy.”
He told me he didn’t think I was doing that. “What?!” I said. “I’ve written books, I’ve got a podcast, I give talks on the world’s stages, I write for everybody from The Guardian to Crafts Magazine – what more can I do?!” I responded, slightly affronted.
“Oh, you’re inspiring them, for sure,” he said. “But what about the educate and empower part? What about the ‘how’?”
He was right of course and in that moment Making Design Circular was born.
I have since interviewed hundreds of designers, makers, artists and craftspeople about their sustainability journeys and beta-tested everything in the membership, short courses and 1:1 nature-informed coaching offer with brave souls who saw me embark on my own “progress over perfection” journey.
I have seen first-hand the transformation this work has had for those who have joined so far – and I want that for you too.

Frequently Asked Questions
All the course materials hosted on a platform called ThriveCart, so you can find everything in one place and track your progress as you move through the content. You will receive immediate access as well as a series of reminders by email to keep you on track. (You can cancel or reset these at anytime.)
The exact content varies by course, but most include a series of videos and workbooks, a ‘Read/Watch/Listen’ list for those who want to dive deeper and email reminders to keep you on track.
Again, it varies by course so check the fact box at the top left of this page. Most videos are 30–90 minutes long and you can usually do the exercises as you watch. Some courses include additional homework or “challenges” which you might want to dedicate more time to – but you can do everything at your own pace.
You have access to all the course materials as long as the course exists, so you can work through at your own pace and revisit as many times as you need to.
This is an online self-paced course so you can work at your own pace, around other commitments and from any time zone.
All videos are captioned and written transcripts and audio-only versions are provided. If there’s anything else I can do to make the course more accessible, please just ask and I will always do my best.
Nope! By popular demand, we have moved away from Facebook and now use ThriveCart for hosting all the course materials.
You can ask questions on the comments thread on each video – I check in most days so will respond as quickly as I can.
And if you’re stick stuck and need a quick response, you can always shoot me an email.
Again, it depends on the course, so check the details in the fact box at the top right of this page, but most of the higher-priced courses have some sort of payment plan.
We’re not here to waste your time or ours.
That’s why we offer a direct, no-nonsense money-back guarantee.
Our goal? Happy customers and zero regrets.
Dive into any course. If at any point before completion you feel it’s not teaching you anything new or it’s not relevant to your world, hit the brakes.
Reach out to us before you finish the course. That’s crucial. If you complete it, we’ll take it as a nod that you found value in our content.
We’ll refund every single penny. No hard feelings. No lengthy processes. Just straight talk and fair play.
Under the UK Consumer Contracts Regulations, you (as a consumer) have the right to cancel a course within 14 days. This right applies regardless of whether the course will be taken online or in person. However, this assumes that you have not accessed the course material on the course website. Our policy offers more than this…a full refund at any point before completing the course.
Email me and I’ll be happy to answer it!
