who is sitoë?

I'm a fiber artist and mechanical engineer leading Unknot, a fiber design studio specialized in woven and knotted functional forms.

I graduated with a bachelor’s in Engineering and a concentration in Art and Design from Harvey Mudd College. After working in industry for 5 years, I stepped away to start my studio.

My love of sustainability, fashion, foraging (of the natural and trash variety), and intuitive design drive my work. Weaving these interests together has led me to three paths of research and exploration:

weaving FUNCTIONAL ART in 3D… and designing the looms that make it possible

testing the fiber manipulation potential of found and discarded materials

developing accessible biomaterial recipes adapted to knotting and weaving
