Robert Phillips

Rob Phillips is currently a senior tutor at the Royal College of Art, Design Products + Futures Programme. Rob is a product designer with eighteen years of experience, working commercially and independently with a broad experience (to date), including five international patents, large-scale manufacture with over three million products in retail, life-saving fire-and-ballistics equipment, revolutionary material development, user-orientated proposals, and involvement in design for team GB. During his Ph.D. he informed a relationship between Open Design and Citizen Science, resulting in methods taught at MIT Media Lab, Stanford, Cornell and the BBC. His latest collaborative project with Goldsmiths University - Interaction Research Studio (www.mynaturewatch.net) - uses distributed design to foster people’s interest in the natural world around them and was broadcast (earlier in the year) on the BBC’s Spring Watch programme. His research seeks to ‘engage design’, to decrease people’s impact, gaining insight into what people really do... and not just what the ‘world of design’ does... thinking how we can be FutureKind to HumanKind.
