Forward Thinking Design (FTD) is a Certified Social Enterprise reimagining how Australia designs, builds, and reuses our spaces. We’re driven by the belief that sustainability and social good belong at the heart of every business decision.

Through our award-winning initiative FTD Circular, we’re helping transform the built environment into a truly circular economy - where materials stay in use, waste is eliminated, and communities thrive. We deliver training, consultancy, and digital tools that enable governments, organisations, and trades to meet their sustainability goals while unlocking local jobs, reducing emissions, and building stronger, more equitable communities.

Led by Western Sydney born and bred - sustainability innovator Vanessa Cullen - our team works with partners across Australia to make circular practices visible, accessible, and achievable for everyone. Every project we undertake, including this campaign to “Put Parramatta's Circular Economy on the Map!”, moves us closer to a future where nothing of value goes to waste and every action contributes to regeneration.
