“Having worked in the apparel and footwear industries for several years, I’ve come to truly appreciate the power of materials – their origins, their impact, and their potential. The right material can transform a design, elevate craftsmanship, and tell a unique story. But beyond that, it’s how we source, use, and repurpose materials that shapes both our creativity and our responsibility as makers. With pure imagination, even the most ordinary material can become something truly extraordinary.”
