Maha Alavi, a Canadian industrial designer, began her journey in hardware through an online retailer of architectural specialties, leading her to study industrial design. In 2023, she established her studio in Tokyo, creating a variety of products including metal objects and exploring textile collections. Travel inspires her designs, as she gathers insights from different cultures. Alavi maintains a casual approach to documenting her ideas in sketchbooks, acknowledging the transient nature of creativity. She values hands-on exploration and intuitive design methods, embracing the creative process in different environments.
"I always knew I was creatively inclined, but I didn't have the direction to actively pursue it until I developed a concrete vision."
"All in all, I am not too fussed about documenting ideas too hard. They come and go, like waves on a shoreline."
