While at DADI we experimented with the idea to not only create Unix philosophy web apps, but also create the infrastructure to host them, in a fully decentralized way. Using unused computing power on consumer devices.
In order to test the concept we wanted to create a MVP which ran on Raspberry Pi architecture, so the next question is what did it look like? As the design director at the time I reached out to London based design agency Blond.
Working closely with James Melia and the Blond team I was the Creative Director for the project.

I keep sustainability top of mind through all of my work, as such we chose more environmentally friendly materials such as hand-blown glass and silicone.

Similarly the packaging was fully biodegradable.
