Larsen
Industrial Design
“I am a designer, collaborator, and artist. I love design and the process of design. Design connects me to people, places, and things.I’ve been applying a design-based spectrum of professional projects over the past 12 years; with 8.5 years of theoretical practice in design. ”
As a Landscape Designer, I enjoyed creating circular systems for a mining site – winning second place in an OSSGA provincial award for innovative rehabilitation design that maximizes the opportunities that the site offers. I advanced my understanding of space, experience, and scale by designing custom homes with a boutique builder in Edmonton, Alberta. I found my true calling in the Industrial design program at OCAD U, opening a new world of design that includes strategy, creativity, and experience design. My environmental and experiential design and passion for art come full circle and overlap my work into three unique categories: Design, Collaboration and Art.
