Polymath Design Lab

Location

Hi! I’m Shannon Henry and I’m the creative force behind Polymath Design Lab. I live just outside of Portland, OR, with my husband Sean and our miniature orange tree, Syd. I’ve always loved creating things, and I am really looking forward to being able to share the things I make with you. I’ve always been more of a generalist than a specialist, my curiosity drawing me in many different directions. And, more than that, I am a synthesist – I love looking at different concepts or viewpoints and finding the parallels and the places where they overlap. I’ve chosen the name Polymath Design Lab because I want my business to reflect that same tendency towards synthesis – exploring the intersections of art and craft with science and technology. The design lab for me is a place to experiment artistically and play with involving all different kinds of influences – from historical photos to cellular models or electronic circuitry.
