From zero-waste design
to circular strategies.

Grounded in a decade of building Aplat from the ground up — now helping brands and startups design for circularity.

Made in San Francisco

What began as an origami design principle — reduce off-cuts, reduce-waste, became Aplat: a zero-waste culinary brand built on the belief that great design and sustainability aren't opposing forces.

That same philosophy now extends beyond product. I help organizations rethink how they design, produce, and operate — embedding circular principles from day one.
