At the core of both our design and craft practices are three guiding concepts
Form
Influences of elements such as contour, color, space, texture, and light.

The emotion and nuance behind any kind of sensory experience
Function
How to comfortably fit into the natural rhythm and pace of daily life
Em Dubovoy is a multidisciplinary designer and artist based in New York’s Hudson Valley. As a child of immigrants and a first-generation American, her artistic practice is rooted in themes of identity, home, and duality. She explores the tactile and symbolic qualities of clay and other natural materials as means of grounding—both physically and emotionally. Her work navigates the relationships between softness and sharpness, light and shadow, digital and physical, along with other core dichotomies. Em’s background in design informs an approach that balances playful experimentation with functional intent. Guided by an intuitive process, her work expands connections between her inner and outer worlds.
