Hello.
I am Shu, a designer, founder, and educator shaping circular products, sensory experiences, and future learning. Founder of Aplat and Director of Industrial Design at California College of the Arts, my work brings together craft, life science, and emerging technologies to design better systems for life on this planet.
I continue to develop zero waste collections through Aplat and am beginning a new venture exploring circular pathways for businesses as global legislation pushes brands to rethink waste and overproduction.
Outside of work I reset in nature on trails, along the coast, or paddling out in the ocean. Cooking and gathering around the table remain my favorite ways to connect with friends and family. I am always exploring new tools, new questions, and new ways of shaping the future.
If these ideas resonate, send a note. I always enjoy conversations about design, food, learning, and building better systems for the future.
