Biography

Saltgrain Studio was founded by Brenda Ho, whose background spans material research, visual study, and applied design. With training that bridges analytical understanding, tactile practice, and creative intuition, her work is informed by close attention to how materials behave, how objects are constructed, and how they change over time.

Rather than treating design as a purely visual exercise, she approaches it as a process of observation and interpretation — considering use, wear, and repair as integral to meaning. This perspective shapes Saltgrain Studio as a space for inquiry and research as much as production, where ideas are developed slowly and with careful intention.
