<div>This year Hope got into 2 different programs–a masters of Material Futures at University of the Arts London, Central Saint Martins and an exchange program for industrial design at The École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs (ENSAD) in Paris!!! We are so so proud of her!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Due to medical and financial complications this past year, Hope had to delay her masters acceptance and post-pone her enrolment to this year (2026). Now that some of those medical issues are coming to a resolution, we are reaching out to community to help support Hope on her new journey(s). This GoFund me will help Hope cover all her travel and living costs, as well as supporting tuition for her exchange program in Paris and her masters program in London.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Obviously our girl is working to raise the funds through grants &amp; work but we'd love to help her out so she can concentrate on school. The exchange program begins this February 2026 and would last three months before she begins hers masters program in London.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Getting Hope to her exchange program is quickly approaching (and so is her birthday!), if you would have gotten her a gift or bought her drinks maybe donate to this instead and help make some big dreams come true for her.
</div>

</div>
<div>More about her practice you say? read on...
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Her master’s studies focus on environmentally responsible design, with an emphasis on circular systems, material reuse, and long-lasting objects. Building on her background in human rights, social justice, and industrial design, Hopes work explores how design can actively reduce waste, challenge overproduction, and lessen environmental harm.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Through this program, she will develop furniture, textiles, objects, and design systems that prioritize durability, repair, and responsible material sourcing. Rather than creating disposable products, her work centers on extending the life of materials and designing with environmental accountability from the start.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This education supports a design practice that responds directly to the climate crisis by pairing environmental care with thoughtful, human-centered solutions.
</div>

<div>Also, here are the places Hope will be attending:
