I’m an interdisciplinary designer operating at the intersection of design thinking and deep technology to create transformative products, materials, and systems.

Mary Lempres, MID

I bridge the gap between emerging technology and commercialization for impact.

I do this by working with companies developing physical solutions for the climate crisis to invent clean impact messaging, design novel materials, and develop transformative prototypes and products. Notably, I’ve worked with Google, Lexus, Ecovative, Circ, IDEO, and others to design and implement clean tech material solutions.

Concepts that drive my practice:

Nature Co-Design

Integrating human ingenuity with the inherent intelligence of natural ecosystems

Transition Design

Design is vital in the transition towards sustainable and equitable futures

Design for Circularity

Considering the entire lifecycle of a product to prioritize the circular economy
