Dennae Jones
About Dennae
Originally from New Zealand, Dennae grew up in North Carolina, lives in NYC, and travels to new places as often as possible. As a designer, Dennae is inspired by non-traditional collaboration, beautiful books, and the interactions of disciplines. With a varied background in exhibition design, graphic design, interior design, and philosophy, she works as a multi-disciplinary designer and finds herself interested in a wide range of topics.
Artist Statement
A bold designer with a strong aesthetic sense, Dennae hopes to produce unique experiences that enhance the human condition. She uses whimsy and wonder as vehicles to explore intersections between art and science, design and philosophy.
Dennae is most interested in impactful exhibitions, spaces, and interventions that improve society by engaging citizens and offering opportunities for exploration. This includes the exploration of culture and learning about new things, as well as providing breaks from the mundane or negative circumstances in our world. Working with physical space, in-context interaction, materiality, and public pedagogy, she creates strong project-specific identities that are supported by thorough research. She is a supporter of crossmodalism and creating new ways to communicate with design.
Crossmodalism: a movement born from the synthesis of art, science, and entrepreneurship. It is based in learning and collaboration across non-traditionally linked disciplines, ideas, and communities. Through this foundation, crossmodalism fosters an appreciation of the full human experience in connection to its sensorial and natural environment.
