Where I’ve Been
With 25+ years of experience across industrial design, product systems, and creative leadership, I’ve built a multidisciplinary practice rooted in care—for craft, community, and planet. I founded Aplat, a zero-waste soft goods brand made in San Francisco, and also serving as Chair of Industrial Design at CCA. I’ve been researching the future of education, curriculum redesign, industry-aligned studio CoLABs, and guiding programs through major institutional transformation. SHU →
Where I’m Going
I would like to build sensory intelligent design labs with companies ready to integrate human intelligence & artificial intelligence, and biomimicry into their design and business innovation. I would like to explore immersive experiences for brands—they’re systems for collaboration, evolving, and creating impact.
I believe in design that connects us to ourselves and our collective consciousness—to co-create a better future for life on this planet. I’m seeking opportunities to lead bold, mission-aligned teams ready to shift how we make, feel, learn and live. → SHU
