View Larger Image and Additional Photos of SophieAbout Sophie : Sophie Cheam is a Canadian industrial design student at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco. Much of her designs are inspired by the city of Ottawa - a city she describes as a concrete jungle embedded by mother nature’s vastest lakes, rivers and forests where she spent most of her childhood exploring. She describes her design style as,captivating elegance by finding balance and harmony to contrasting elements.
I want to build lifestyle products that could enhance people’s lives, in a discreet and meaningful way. I don’t believe that a product should control you, but that you should allow a product to increase your quality of life in one way or another, without being the focal point of your life. I want to do this in an informative yet playful way. My personal design aethetic motto is to find balance + harmony in contrasting elements while captivating the unexpected.
