Woodworking

One of the simplest prompts we were given in my second year studio was to create a kitchen utensil that can stir, scoop, or scrape. Being the overachiever I am, I went for all three. I took inspiration from my favorite wooden spoon, and went to the woodshop to create on of my own spoon with features tailored to my ways of cooking. Using discarded furniture legs, I cut down and sanded these blocks into simple yet unique wooden spoons perfect for each part of the cooking process.

During the pandemic, I was given the opportunity to take a class that led me through the process of making a live-edge table from a raw slab of wood.

Another project from second year studio was to make a desk organizer. I knew I wanted mine to be wooden, and most importantly cater to my needs as an ADHD designer in college. I wanted to maximize my use of space and try to limit distractions at my desk, which is why I went with an upper shelf that provided an entire surface above my line of vision, which doubled as a standing desk for a change of pace.
