About Shay
I am a student, researcher, and maker exploring how eco‑conscious crafting intersects with media, storytelling, and mental health. My work focuses on transforming overlooked materials into meaningful objects and documenting the creative process through writing and research.

If you are an artist, researcher, educator, or student interested in sustainable creative practices or media storytelling, I would be happy to connect and discuss potential projects or interviews.
