With a keen eye for the unapparent, Heather seeks to design fresh and moving experiences. She enjoys tinkering with her hands, and works best with good company.

Lean

LEAN is an ordinary-looking trestle that probes common notions of stability and compactibility in wooden furniture. Its separate halves fall into each other for fuss-free assembly. Lifting its handle, it folds without joints for single-handed carry. To store, stack it, or line it up against a wall as a simple leaning rack. As a trestle, LEAN partners with its tabletop’s weight for greater stability. With simple but strategic cuts to a uniform piece of wood, making is also kept easy and low cost.

LIFTD

LIFTD is a 2-part system that helps gyms level the playing field for users who experience gym intimidation. Floor demarcations carve out an equal and flexible exercise space for each user, and guides them on how to mediate between their own space and others'. Dumbbells are designed to look alike regardless of weight, to empower the less-confident.

L'atelier

L’atelier is the winning event space concept designed for Guerlain’s domestic and travel retail market. From its structures to its users’ interactions, L’atelier embodies intimacy and sophistication of the maker’s spirit and the creative environment of French art studios it was inspired by. With simple switches it can be easily transformed to showcase other products, and when taken apart for transport it only needs the space of half a shipping container.
