Introducing Repair Team yellow Will and Tim (they want to make a menagerie!)

Our young guns Tim and Will come to us with some amazing ideas for repair – we were so impressed by their creative and fun ideas that we added an extra pair to the project! 

Tim is 24 and currently in his final year of Industrial Design at RMIT and has recently returned from a semester in Turkey. He has an interest in sustainable and social design and was previously involved in Craft Victoria's online Whitebox exhibition (2010). He is interested in finding value in what other's see as useless – he has also been instrumental in collecting stuff for repair from the Brotherhood. 

Will is a recent graduate of the Industrial Design program at RMIT – but sees himself as quite a technically minded person. He is a self claimed ‘mad-scientist’ and a believer in design as a force for good change in the world, across all levels of development and all industries. He is passionate about changing the way consumers behave towards more sustainable living and yes he and Tim are planning on turning some of the unrepairable items into animals for a petting zoo! 

This is a must see!!
