Kyra Weinkle is an interdisciplinary designer and artist based in Denver, Colorado.
Work
Let’s look beyond sustainability and resiliency. Let's design a beautiful world that regenerates in perpetuity.My diverse expertise blends abstract and pragmatic thinking to solve complex problems with innovative, successful solutions. My professional practice combines product and process innovation, user-centric experience design, and leadership in codes and standards development and implementation within the built environment.
From zeroing in on the problem at hand, to identifying the right research path, leading cross-disciplinary teams, and seeing the process through to the final product, I have spent the past two-plus decades applying my skills as a thought leader and visual thinker to improve our lived experience in service of creating a healthy, thriving, and bright future for all.
Play
My art practice is driven by the pleasure of making, experimenting, and playfully exploring material processes. Works celebrate our nostalgic attachment to objects, experiences, and memory while allowing magical qualities of materials to emerge as work develops. The open ended nature of my studio practice balances the methodological structure of my professional work.
