Alyssa is a product design student who works at the quiet intersection of people and the natural world. She is drawn to the subtle ways objects gather meaning over time—not just through use, but through weathering, touch, memory, and place.
She doesn’t seek to solve or to perfect, but to listen: to the rhythms of daily life, to materials that speak in decay and renewal, to the traces we leave behind. Her objects are not fast or loud; they are made to be lived with, tended to, and remembered.
Through natural materials and quiet details, she hopes to create work that holds space—for emotion, for slowness, for the small ways we belong to the world around us.
