About:
Recent graduate with a BDES in Industrial Design from Emily Carr University of Art and Design. Born in Portland, Oregon, currently residing in Vancouver, BC.
I am an interdisciplinary designer Intersecting craft and industry, using material exploration and storytelling to create objects as means of dialogue and mediation for social and cultural connections.
I find curiosity in how we interact with surrounding spaces and objects.
I am interested in rethinking the way things are made and how materials are used to create changes to design processes and culture.
I am a collector of found objects, inspired by their colors, forms, materials and craft. Aside from building off pre-existing objects I also work with flexible materials like clay and textiles. My work utilizes sculptural methodology and is playful and colorful, adding a touch of whimsical joy to the things I create.
