architecture / design / art
Jaime Levin
Coming from a diverse family of sculptors and artists, I have grown up in a creative environment with a strong influence from many parts of the world. Although academically educated in architecture, my interests cross many creative fields, including: ceramics, graphics, industrial design, furniture, landscape design, fine arts and many intricacies of the culinary world. My website is used as both an exploratory tool, as well as a medium of exhibition for my own design work and ongoing creative research.
The exposure and travel to diverse cultures and places is an important part of my creative process, where these influences continually inspire unexpected trajectories that fuel my meandering endeavours. Practiced through many mediums, my work focuses on inspiring curiosity and designing to provoke the discovery of new experiences and experimentation within our everyday lives.
