I am Inti MacDonald,

a multi disciplinary designer and artist, deeply interested in the ways that we interface with technology. I spend my time exploring new tools and workflows in hopes of playing a role in shaping the future.

I was raised by two artists, who nourished my creativity at a young age. As jewelers, my parents were always in the studio, and consequently so was I. Experiencing their design process inspired me to find my own. Between working in the studio and traveling around the United States to art shows, I became enamored by what it meant to be an artist and entrepreneur. At 8 years old I started designing and making my own jewelry that I took to my parents shows. The first necklace I made was a collaboration with my dad. When this piece sold, I experienced the fulfillment of creating art for someone else's enjoyment. Since that day I have continued pursuing jewelry as creative outlet and an entrepreneurial venture. Through my college education I have found that my experience creating jewelry has many parallels with industrial design. Designing a product so intimate such as jewelry requires me to empathize with a customers needs and wants. The ultimate balance between ergonomics and aesthetics.
