Arushi Aggarwal, The Initiative
Arushi is a designer for social good; making handmade products and their makers relevant to the modern consumer. Combining traditional handcrafting processes with design, and a focus on consumer experience, she is creating positive social impact and consumer value through her venture The Initiative. Through hand quilting garment production waste, they create high quality, functional, ethically made products that generate sustainable livelihood opportunities for low-income craftspeople.
She is also a part of the Global Shapers Community where she is an Impact Officer and leads the Shaping Sustainability CHD project - bringing the local community together to meet experts, learn about new methods and techniques around sustainability, and share experiences. The project conducts online events for a global audience to engage in conversations around what sustainability means and how to fit it into their lives.
Prior to her social impact journey, Arushi worked as a Design Researcher and Strategist in Denmark. She continues to consult on projects ranging from design interventions in the craft sector to design strategy for social impact.
