"It’s a quietly tense January afternoon at York University’s Scott Library.
I’ve just finished a package design class with professor Albert Ng, feeling
challenged and inspired (as always). I pull out my laptop and a handful of
printer paper. My assignment today? To learn and replicate a dozen origami
folds.
The fold patterns I attempted from a textbook ranged from simple to puzzling. I
had no idea how any of this can be applied to my next packaging project.
Nonetheless, the tactile fun I had that day made for one of the most memorable
study sessions of my university career.
Fast forward to 2023: I pass by the forgotten magazine aisle at a Toronto
Public library when a single
National Geographic issue catches my eye. An
unfurling orange apparatus adorns the cover, titled
The Future is Folded. I
instinctively flip to the feature story, hungry to learn more. What I found was
a thrilling re-ignition of a spark from that January afternoon."
Cheers,
