What I Write About

My Approach

Design is not just about solving problems—it's about asking questions and creating objects that invite reflection on our relationship with the material world.

Her design methodology emphasizes research-led development, material authenticity, and conceptual clarity. Each project begins with thorough investigation of contexts and material behaviors, evolving through iterative refinement to create work that functions as both practical object and cultural commentary.
