Background

About Emi Webb

Hi, I'm Emi, an industrial/communication designer consumed by the way social infrastructure can cultivate genuine community connections. Currently, I live on the traditional territory of the Tsartlip and Tsawout First Nations in Victoria, BC but have worked on design teams across North America, Europe, and the Middle East to study diverse cities and their connections to the built environment. I am a co-founder of Neighbour Lab; a worker co-operative at the intersection of urban design and community engagement contributing to the resilience of neighbourhood relationships. I also work as the Designer and Workshop Lead at the Island Health Innovation Lab, pushing human centred design and creativity to the forefront of public design for health. I like to bring diverse voices together in creative ways that promote happy and healthy societies. In between hosting design jams you can find me in the garage with my father designing electric crate motors that resemble old school vintage engines. I adore the personality of rusty hot rods and believe EV conversions are the most sustainable way to preserve this history while decreasing the environmental impact of the transportation industry.
