Meet the Designer
Jenny
Zhen
Industrial Design
“I approach design as a practice of uncovering—where material is not just substance, but a carrier of memory, environment, and meaning. I am deeply curious of the space between global systems and intimate daily behaviours—how the wide and vast and the personal converge in the things we make and use.”
Jenny Zhen (b. Tkaronto/Toronto) is an emerging designer exploring the intersection of materiality, object-making, and the anthropological narratives that form around them. Interested in woodworking, she approaches form through an ecological lens and navigates the nuanced space between art and design. Her current work investigates the role of furniture design in shaping the experiences of immigration, climate, and food cultures.
