Artist and industrial designer whose practice exists between functional design and conceptual art. Working across sculpture, installation, ceramics, jewelry, and spatial design, her work explores the psychological relationships people form with objects, materials, and environments. Drawing from research in consumer culture, sustainability, behavioral psychology, and architecture, she creates work that examines how designed spaces and objects subtly shape identity, emotion, and behavior.
