What if a shoe store felt like a science museum? And how do you sell a shoe made from waste?
Experiential retail for JavaJute- footwear made from coffee waste. By providing a space to interact with and learn about emerging materials, customers are far more likely to choose products made from them. Every element of the store, from rugs to architectural details inspired by patterns from the material’s origins reinforces the story. Swipe to see how I tracked eye movement to make decisions on experiential graphics.

What if you could grow a pattern onto a shoe? Inspired by differential growth in sea organisms I see at Sandy Hook🪸. The script you see allowed me to simulate this growth onto the surface in real time. 3D printed footwear is an exciting future.

“Have fun on your space walk.” It’s what a professor of mine said as I was heading back into the metal shop after a conversation at my studio desk about our favorite space movies, this stool, and how sick I was of the actual assigned projects. Those next weeks I lost myself in a little space themed craze and designing a series of objects that kept me off the ground. The “Black Hole Stool” came out of that.
The phrase stuck with me. I’ve come to really embrace the practice of “going on a space walk”. I see it as following curiosities, drifting off course, and discovering something new. Just you and some silence doing something you really care about while the rest of the world is on the ground. Here’s to drifting off course👩🚀.
