Emilia is an emerging designer who lives and creates in Vancouver, BC—situated on the unceded traditional territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.
While pursuing her undergraduate studies in industrial design at Emily Carr University of Art + Design, Emilia worked with various materials and techniques, mostly using repurposed materials and focusing on sustainable design.
Passionate about learning through making, up-cycling, collaborating and gender equality, her work aims to empower people and design for a sustainable world. With her designs, Emilia invites us to reimagine how we relate to objects and our surroundings, re-designing and working with our existing resources.
