Jane Withers built her career at the intersection of design, sustainability, and environmental advocacy long before these issues became mainstream. Since founding her studio in 2001, she has collaborated with leading design brands, cultural institutions and global corporations to harness design as a tool for positive change. Trained in Art History at the Courtauld Institute and History of Design at the Royal College of Art/V&A, Withers wears many hats – journalist, curator, author, and self-confessed 'aquaholic' – with much of her work focused on water scarcity and bathing culture. We caught up with her ahead of London Design Festival 2024, where she will curate the Brompton Design District for the 16th consecutive year.
