Well since you asked so nicely,
Connie is a daydreamer, designer, artist, and fanatic of modular systems and hand-polished wood.
Working at the intersection of experience design, creative direction, mixed reality, and emerging technologies.
Born and raised in San Francisco, they graduated from Brown University with a degree in Computer Science, Visual Art, and Literary Arts.
Why design?
Curiosity and wonder has shaped them into a generalist, balancing a coding background alongside a love for human narratives, equity, and built environments.
Their design practice is part of their greater investment in story preservation and creation. We can uplift underinvested communities, bring more joy into our collective spaces, and be actively creating space for cultures, heritages, and stories to continue to exist and thrive.
Craftsmanship + fabrication
In a previous chapter, they spent four months studying furniture design and graphic design in Copenhagen, Denmark, where they were moved by the deep design tradition and focus on quality, modularity, and craft. This has deeply influenced their approach and view of design and its political and socioeconomic contexts.
Where to find them?
When offline, they are likely painting, metalsmithing, stonecarving, writing, reading, biking, rearranging furniture, or scheming new side quests.
Send over a message to connieliusf@gmail.com to say hello, offer them a marble sculpting apprenticeship in Italy, audition to become their new twin flame ride-or-die bestie, or chat about design :P 🌱
