Cheryl Kao
About
Cheryl is an Interior Designer & Product Designer based in London. After 8 years of designing 2-D user experiences at technology companies and fashion houses, Cheryl became curious about spatial design and materiality. She moved from San Francisco to London to pursue a Masters in Interior Design at the Royal College of Art.
Her thesis work, the Maker’s Den, transforms an abandoned factory into a unique maker’s community by introducing a new material circulation that reutilizes the industrial legacy in East London. This space reshapes our living world and invites new design methods for reuse through the activities occurring in the metal and wood workshops, storage space, lecture hall, work stations, and public areas.
