Through her designs, Joanne Odisho highlights the importance of cautious material selection in order to minimise waste. She hopes to develop a practice that promotes awareness about where our products come from and how we can make more environmentally conscious decisions when it comes to what we put in our own homes. 

Odisho’s creative thinking enables her to transform abstract ideas into tangible, visually captivating objects. She draws inspiration from a range of sources, including architecture and the nature that surrounds us. One of her primary objectives is to ensure that her products seamlessly integrate into their intended environments. With a background in interior design, spatial planning and consideration of human interaction is a natural instinct.
