who is sitoë?

I'm the fiber artist and mechanical engineer leading Unknot, a fiber design studio specialized in knotting and weaving.

I graduated with a bachelor’s in Engineering and a concentration in Art and Design from Harvey Mudd College. After working in engineering design for 5 years, I stepped away to start my studio.

My love of sustainability, fashion, foraging (of the natural and trash variety), and intuitive design drive my work. Weaving these interests together has led me to three paths of research and exploration:

weaving FUNCTIONAL ART in 3D… and designing the looms that make it possible

testing the fiber manipulation potential of secondhand and discarded materials

Exploring teaching strategies for these traditional arts in ways that feel accessible and approachable
