Jess Humpston is a Naarm/Melbourne based interdisciplinary designer and a graduate of the Sturt School for Wood. A background in both fashion and interior design has given Jess a finely tuned understanding of the space a piece of furniture inhabits and a sensitivity to the intimate physical interaction between user and object. Jess’s work is minimal, yet detail focussed and her practice is dedicated to material exploration within highly rational and brief-driven parameters.
