What began with golden ratio and origami principles, and a desire to design with nature, became Aplat, a zero waste culinary brand rooted in the belief that thoughtful design can shape a better way of living.
That same philosophy now extends beyond my own products. Today, I work with brands and institutions to rethink how they design, make, and operate, bringing circular principles in from the start.
