Speakers

Tania Love is a Toronto-based visual artist whose work evolves from a relationship with the natural and cultural habitat. Her process centres the use of diverse natural materials, placing emphasis on tactility and inviting slower rhythms. She is the recipient of numerous grants and residencies, having exhibited both within Canada and internationally. Last year during DesignTO, her collaborative project titled “mémoire” was recognized with a ‘Best In Festival: Exhibition’ award. In the upcoming DesignTO Festival 2024, she’ll showcase her works at The Lyceum Gallery in Toronto.

Georgia Mackenzie-MacPherson is recognized as a creative problem solver who employs a human-centered design approach. Leading social design projects through MAC / MAC Design, Strategy & Consulting, she leverages a multi-media and interdisciplinary process. Holding a BDes in Industrial Design from Emily Carr University of Art + Design and an MA in Interdisciplinary Design Strategy from Dun Laoghaire Institute of Art, Design and Technology in Ireland, Georgia’s work is multifaceted and impactful.

Meredith Moore founded Ouroboros Deconstruction with a mission to promote sustainable reuse and contest the prevailing throw-away culture. With a profound background in the history of art and architecture and interior design, Meredith champions the value and allure of salvaged materials. She is based in Toronto, dedicating her time outside of deconstruction to her young family.

With a background in graphic arts and illustration, Christine Tatilon is a French visual artist and independent designer now residing in Toronto. After moving to Canada, she shifted her focus from a scientific setting in an anthropological lab to design. Over the past eight years, she has concentrated on textile design, emphasizing sustainable products made from both recyclable and non-recyclable ordinary waste.
