About Me
Emma Goris (°2004) is a young Belgian product designer with a strong artistic foundation and a deep-rooted sense of responsibility, beauty and sustainability. Creativity is in her blood: with two graphic designers as parents, she grew up in an environment where image, form and expression were self-evident.
Emma spent her first years at school in Freinet education, where she learned to work with others, plan independently, and above all: act with mutual respect. This is also where her first awareness of social and ecological issues arose, an awareness that continues to guide her design practice today.
After graduating from Sint-Franciscuscollege in science and mathematics, choosing product design at LUCA School Of Arts was a logical next step: a place where she could combine her analytical and artistic talents.
In her third year, she opted for an international exchange in Sweden, where she further immersed herself in sustainability and changemaking.
Emma is a designer who works with heart and soul. She is curious by nature and loves variety, as long as she can be creative. Textures, natural materials and soft shapes play an important role in her work. For Emma, design is a way to care for the user, the planet and the story behind each product. She dares to push her own boundaries, even if she finds it scary, and she is not afraid to change direction when her intuition tells her to.
Emma is not a designer who just makes "something beautiful". She wants what she makes to be right: in function, in material, in values. Because whoever takes care of their product, also takes care of the people who use it.
