Who
My name is Travers Henry and I am an industrial designer who loves to share my passions for making, flying, and sailing. If you need help with something, I'm always willing to lend a hand.
About me
Where
I have lived on the West coast of Canada, in Vancouver BC for my entire life with limited exception. It's a place that is very dear to me and I love the confluence of water, forest, and urban landscapes. The mountains are North, so you can always keep your bearing in life.
Why
My practice explores the boundary between physical and digital. The way people interact with digital artifacts is what drives my exploration, holds my interest, and is where I see huge possibilities in creating.
