Design

 
 
 

Textiles

I design trend-forward textiles focusing on the intersection of biomaterials innovation. I have design experience in knit, woven and print product development for home and fashion.

 

Speculative Design

I collaborate with living systems and speculate on our near-future of living materials. My speculative designs provide critique and discussion around the ethics and possibilities of a bioeconomy based on thorough materials research.

 

Product Design

Rooted in design research, I develop products which incorporate material innovation, circular systems and beyond human-centered methodologies to create more ecologically-conscious and regenerative footwear, handbag and homeware products. The products come to life through 2D and 3D concept sketches and prototypes.
