Mei Shen is a London-based multimedium designer. The body of work presented on this webpage is a production spanning over the period of five years, tracing Mei's development from her Foundation Year at Central Saint Martins (CSM) in 2017 through to her Bachelor’s Graduate Collection designs at CSM completed in 2023. Her work revolves around exploration of common day objects and found materials, translated into surface design. Each design outcome of her past projects is a prototype/sample to display the applicability of her surface designs, and can tailor her approach to individual client preferences. Alongside the displayed surface designs, Mei will continue to take new commissions to produce new surface designs according to the potential clients’ needs.
