This is me:
My name is Bianca Del Rio Kodato. I am an interdisciplinary designer originally from São Paulo, Brazil, and
now residing in Vancouver, Canada.
I use design as a tool for social innovation. Through playful and participatory approaches, I
advocate for a future that prioritizes agency and support between individuals, communities and the
environment. I am interested in the exchange that happens between physical spaces and living beings,
seeing place and the personal connections developed with them as critical influences to how we exist
and behave in and with the world.
I graduated from Emily Carr University of Art + Design in May 2023 with a Bachelor's degree in Industrial Design
and a Minor in Social Practice and Community Engagement.
