About Me
I believe wonder is key to good design.
My design practice begins with curiosity in my local communities and the landscape of Vancouver. By translating thoughtful observation into material forms, I hope to honour these people and places through sustainable, functional, and joyful designs that inspire more relational ways of living! My process is grounded in technical material knowledge, detailed research, and project management as a counter-balance to messy, explorative prototyping, and a love for hands-on making. My experience includes textile design, technical weaving, garment construction, woodworking, and digital fabrication through the ECU Industrial Design program, service design research for the ECU Health Design Lab, textile/community workshops for the ECU Material Matters Lab, and art direction for indie films!
Above all, I am driven by collaboration and contributing positively to my communities. I am eager for opportunities to continue growing my skills and learning from talented people!
