About

Hi! My name is Joan, and I am passionate about learning across a variety of disciplines. While studying Product Design, I discovered that I love being involved in the entire design process, from sketching ideas to crafting the final product. Because of this, I'm excited to improve my woodworking skills, as it's the material I feel most connected to. I also enjoy drawing, writing, and photography, and I have a special interest in experimental film. My hope is to combine all these different forms of expression in my work.

This project delves into the relationship between humans and objects, serving as a critique of an era dominated by mass consumption and digital interactions. Following a multidisciplinary investigation synthesized in two articles ("Aesthetic Experiences I & II"), I continued the process by reviving my grandmother’s sculpture workshop and repurposing a century-old wood-turning lathe. The combination of both theoretical and practical approaches culminated in DOT—a hand-made construction game that reclaims non-digital learning. DOT invites players to unleash their creative imagination using solid wooden turned pieces, offering a hands-on, sustainable alternative to today’s fleeting digital distractions. More than just a tool for imaginative play, DOT stands as a statement against the ephemeral nature of contemporary consumer culture, promoting sustainability and lasting value in design and education.
