Blake joins our apprenticeship program with a strong foundation in material design and a deep love for making. Her experience working with different materials and fabrics has given her a sharp eye for texture, form, and function—and now she’s expanding that skillset into the world of metal.

For Blake, welding is a way to bridge imagination and reality. She’s excited by the possibilities of bringing her ideas to life in new, tangible forms, and she approaches the craft with focus, curiosity, and care.

With each project, Blake is learning how to translate her design instincts into technical skill—adding metal to her toolkit and opening new doors for creative exploration.
