Nyssa E Ashpool
NEA, Nys, Ms. Eris, that odd girl who knows a lot
Hi, I'm Nyssa—or NEA, when we're all tired of typing my name.
I'm a designer, maker, artist, and educator with a questionable ability to leave interesting ideas alone. I follow curiosity wherever it leads, whether that's into science, technology, art, nature, research, or some strange combination of all of the above.
I create out of a desire to understand and grow, empathy through design. Understanding through creation. Deconstruction by reconstruction.

FAQs
What exactly do you do?
1
I'm a designer, maker, artist, and educator. I work across a lot of different mediums and projects, usually following whatever interesting question has caught my attention.
What kind of things do you make?

All sorts of things stuff. Ranging from art, physical objects, interactive projects, educational experiences, experiments, and the occasional strange little device. If I can learn something from making it, I'm probably interested.
Why do you do so many different things?
3
Curiosity, mostly. I've never been particularly good at staying in one box, so I've decided to stop pretending that's a problem.
Can I work with you?
4
Absolutely. I'm always interested in collaborations, creative projects, commissions, and interesting problems that need someone willing to figure things out.
