Hello, I'm Michelle!
Currently, I'm in my fourth year as Industrial Design major and Art History minor at OCAD U. Alongside my previous background in fine arts and architecture, this unique combination of studies fuels my pursuit of cross-disciplinary projects within the art and design sphere.
Practice
With empathy at the core of my practice, my design concepts rely heavily on onsite research, factoring in the user group’s surrounding urban design and cultural history into the specific solution. Within industrial design, my focus lies in exhibition design and curatorial studies. My conceptual and written work focuses on the evolving role of the designer: the evolution of commisioned artist to designer, and speculating the future of the designer in the digital age.
