Carrie approaches design as a life philosophy: a practice of staying in conversation with the world. For her, design is a way of being that values openness, imperfection, and making it up as you go along.

Born in China and raised in Calgary, Canada, she is a product of many stories and as such likes to tell them. She has a Bachelor’s degree in Physiology from McGill University, and her work often begins as curiosity around the lived experience of the human body.

Previously she has worked at the Berlin-based design agency Edenspiekermann, and studied at Design Academy Eindhoven in The Netherlands. Currently she is pursuing a dual Masters in Innovation Design Engineering at Royal College of Art and Imperial College London.
