Tessa is an interdisciplinary industrial designer interested in making pieces and projects that create connections between people and their environments, building an appreciation for the ecosystems and organisms surrounding where they reside. Her practice encompasses pieces that interact with daily rituals, from textiles used by the body to tableware used for sharing food. Her passion for design also extends to system design, in looking at how we can reimagine these networks, specifically in the realm of material end-of-life cycles. Outside of design work, she enjoys exploring creativity through other avenues, such as cooking, photography and creative writing.
