Hi, I am Emilia Abundis, an emerging Mexican designer living and creating in Vancouver, BC. Situated on the unceded traditional territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.
I am pursuing my undergraduate studies in industrial design at Emily Carr University of Art + Design. As I create and follow my passion through making, I also learn and grow as a designer.
In my work, you can see a variety of materials and techniques being used as I work with a diversity of repurposed objects/ materials that are considered “obsolete”.
In the future, I would like to collaborate and learn from/with other designers who share the same passions. I am excited to see how much more I can push my work as I keep learning with and from other artists/designers.
If you want to see more of the process behind the final products, follow my Instagram account or click on the process book links.
