Hi! I’m Max Lyons, Currently a student in the Minneapolis college of Art and Design’s Master of Sustainable Design program. I’ve always had an eye for design, whether it was my interest in Shoes and Clothing as a child, or my drive to change the world for the better though good design. Currently located in Detroit, Michigan, a UNESCO city of design! I’m constantly inspired by my surroundings here, everything from Architecture, to Murals and Sculpture projects dotted across the city. I have an undying passion for both music and the world of Gaming, and my hope is to bring some sustainable change in these industries, especially within streaming.
Resume
Featured first is my System Relations Final. This was a perfect introduction to concepts that have been core to the learning experience so far. Learning about the systems view of the world, its boundaries, and how external factors interact with the system. While it was a bit more focused on audio studios, the same research and methods apply to a video streaming studio as well.
Next is the repositioning project I created for a Midwestern sauerkraut brand. While the project had me looking at many aspects of the business, the focus of the class was sustainable packaging. This was truly an eye-opening experience for me, it helped realign the way I look at packaging for everything I buy, and has helped spur ideas for future projects as well.
