Researcher / Designer

Sam Bennett is a Brooklyn-based maker, ethnographer, and designer with expertise in the fields of space, materials, and objects. She believes in slow research that minimally impacts our planet and advocates for human and animal well-being. Incredibly curious and filled with questions, you can find her:

embarking on a PhD at the Technology University of Eindhoven in Fall 2024,exploring how can we connect the act of repair and the care for our objects and spaces to how we maintain our own bodies and care for others, specifically with the aging population through An Apple a Day.

repairing meaningful artifacts and hosting workshops globally as one-half of Repair Shop.

re-imagining the critique and running the creative feedback collective Clever/Slice.

researching people’s relationships to the built environment through objects and maintenance.

pursuing special projects that are joyful.
