Prosumerism encapsulates a year’s worth of research. It illustrates my design offering and process. While it is not a scholarly dissertation, it does detail the journey the author took from the very beginning of this undertaking—from conceiving her thesis, thoroughly researching the topic, and finally, writing and printing the book. As you read the book, you will also come across several design inventions that include services, mobile applications, physical products, and experiences, along with detailed descriptions of the many successes and failures experienced along the way.
By looking at this topic of hyperconsumption through various lenses, what is presented to you is a comprehensive body of work. Each individual offering can stand alone, but collectively, they strengthen one another. My hope is that my work will serve to make us question the way we consume things and the choices we make every day.
