Stirling Fletcher is WASTED BY DESIGN

An interior architect with over 20 years of global experience in workplace design and consulting. Throughout his career, one issue kept surfacing: waste. Not just environmental waste from short term commercial leasing, but the deeper, systemic kind.

Design driven by trends rather than purpose, profit over people, and convenience over creativity. An industry too often focused on what’s new, rather than what’s needed.

WASTED BY DESIGN was created to challenge this status quo.

Stirling believes design should be thoughtful, responsible, and rooted in real human needs. By questioning the default and reimagining how we work, build, and consume, WASTED BY DESIGN aims to create spaces, and ways of thinking, that are more sustainable, intentional, and enduring.

This isn’t about perfection. It’s about progress. And it starts by doing better, together.
