Chloe Kang Q1<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Thank you! I\u2019m Chloe Kang \u2014 a designer with a background in theatre, architecture, and cooking. I studied Theatre and Film in Seoul, then architecture in Sydney, and later product design in London.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At some point, I realised that design was the best way to bring all my interests together. It lets me be creative, work with my hands, tell stories, and solve problems in everyday life. And now, I even get to use food as a design material \u2014 without being in a noisy kitchen!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It means a lot to have my work recognised on an international level. It gives me confidence to keep exploring new directions in design \u2014 especially ones that involve sustainability, food, and material innovation. This award reminds me that thoughtful, experimental work can connect with others and spark new conversations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Q2<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Well, I work solo \u2014 so the \u201cteam\u201d mostly consists of me, my laptop, and a very judgmental pile of dried pasta on my shelf. But winning this award has definitely opened up conversations, especially internationally. It gives me a platform to talk about food, sustainability, and design in ways that feel more serious, even if the pasta still looks slightly absurd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Experimentation is everything. For Pasta by Design, I tested dozens of ingredients \u2014 including seaweed, insects, cacti, and vegetable waste. Some of it smelled strange, some of it collapsed, and a few batches looked like fossils. But eventually, I created pasta that was both beautiful and full of meaning. It\u2019s like science class, but you get to eat your failures (sometimes).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bin. Honestly. I collected food waste \u2014 onion skins, pea pods, pistachio shells \u2014 and wondered what could be done with them. Once you start seeing beauty in scraps, it\u2019s hard to stop. Trash is just design waiting for attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
