My name is Emilia Abundis, and I am an interdisciplinary designer from Mexico, currently based in Vancouver, BC, where I graduated with an Industrial Design degree from Emily Carr University.
I have worked with a variety of materials and techniques, mostly repurposing materials and conducting material research. I am inspired by new approaches to design through questioning and experimenting. I am excited to keep learning and redesigning a future where nature and humans can collaborate and create.
