Over the course of her degree Abby became
increasingly aware of global sustainability
issues, and these became a focus of her
research into textile waste during her final
year. Despite their best efforts, Save Mart,
New Zealand’s largest used clothing recycler,
still sends truckloads of textile waste to
the landfill every week. For her final project
Abby took textiles from the ‘bottom of the
barrel’ to produce three large-scale bags,
using laser cutting, layering and quilting
techniques. Though this project only touched

Valerie studied both arts and science

that now, and credits Massey for teaching
her how to look beyond the obvious answers,
and discover what ‘design’ could mean in the
21st century. After a short time as a junior
designer at Open Lab, a commercial design
studio set up by Massey, she discovered her
