Ceramic Industrial Designer

Résumé

**** ********** *****, ******* *****, NY 14305 USA ~ Cell: 1-347-***-**** Career Summary

Twenty-six years as a ceramic industrial designer, training for production and implementation of the sustainable interventions of WASH, indoor air quality and micro-industry. I have managed projects across sub-Saharan Africa, and southern Asia in partnerships with governments and INGOs. These projects have been nature-based for capacity building and sustainability and have addressed sixteen of the seventeen Sustainable Development Goals - SDGs. Emphasis is on using the widely available human and natural resources. Competencies

Water Governance Consultation

Design & development have been for localizing human-centered, nature- based interventions, using available resources to implement community point-of-use systems as well as household candle filter systems.

Global Climate Change and Disaster Risk Reduction I have implemented programs to reduce indoor air pollution in the developing world by training locals how to convert from charcoal and wood burning cook stoves to creating biomass briquettes to uses in highly energy efficient rocket stoves. Water filter media of granulated ceramics has been developed with disaster risk reduction in mind. Uniquely, large scale water filters of the granulated media will make point-of-use sustainable water treatment possible to the highest standard. See the article following, Filtering Safe Drinking Water through Granulated Ceramics. NB. the U. S. Army has green lighted the rapid deployment, fabrication of these large-scale water filters, suited as well to disaster preparedness.

Policy and Governance Consultation

Development of ceramic filters, both monolithic and granulated, has been with implementation in mind, for

‘stakeholder participation and inter-sectoral coordination.’ On these bases it is presumed that standardization of water filters and sanitary toilets will enable policy development, with a view to the unmet and serious need for shared technologies that are widely applicable. In this way, prospective implementers will be able to make informed technology decisions.

Program Development and Implementation

Developments implemented have focused on sustainability. In addition to effectiveness, these have included affordability, user-friendliness and easy maintenance. Affordability is stipulated in the SDGs. Reliance has been on abundant resources that have been available, ceramic resources starting with clay, sand and others. The human resources start with the ubiquitous, highly skilled potters who hand form, e.g., water containers and cook pots. Capacity building has been in quick forming techniques of duplicates, starting with models and molds.

Familiarity with Water Related Policies

I have followed closely the proceedings of the WHO Household Water Network from its inception in 2003. Policy development experiences have interfaced with senior staff of the WHO, INGOs and like-minded organizations, several governments, academia, and the private sector. E.g., USAID, the Kenya Ministry of Health, and several universities in Western New York.

Capacity Development

Building capacity has been the foundation of my work in the trainings to produce water filters of ceramic candles. This has been in both Nepal and Kenya, in both, the filter systems going into 5,000 homes of informal settle- ments. Training in energy efficient stove production has been in Burundi, Tanzania, Guinea and numerous other countries of sub-Saharan Africa. In all cases there is a view to fostering livelihoods and community resilience. Recent Work History
