In my work, I explore the connection between human and object, playing with the notion of function and encouraging the user to question objects they interact with on a daily basis.
I place emphasis on the joy objects bring to us by creating playful, tactile, interactive versions of everyday objects. A subtle, or occasionally obvious, deviation from what is expected means an otherwise overlooked object becomes surprising.
I aim to make objects that spark curiosity, nurture a childlike sense of play and provide an opportunity to interrogate the tools we use to navigate our lives.
