Brand Profile:Y Design Studio
Y Design Studio is the creation of Industrial Designer Yvonne Potter. Her evolution as a designer began in an unlikely way, with a trip to Edmonton, Canada, in 1981. There, she was completely impressed with the Muttart Conservatory, Citadel Theater, Edmonton Space and Science Centre and Edmonton City Hall, realizing her love and appreciation of architecture. She went on to study architecture and urban planning at N.A.I.T. and abroad in London, England.
After a few years with the Edmonton Planning and Development Department, Yvonne decided to focus on smaller scale projects, transforming materials, and turning them into beautiful furniture [miniature buildings!] and architectural installations. Fuelled by her passion for architecture and design [especially of Italian product and furniture design], she dedicated herself to another four years of school, this time for a degree [Bachelor of Industrial Design 1996, School of Industrial Design, Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada].
Since 2002, she has been applying her experience, knowledge and skills into designing, producing and marketing modern “furniture, environments and objects” as sole proprietor of Y Design Studio.
