INGRID VALOU
President
Ingrid is an LGBTQ2+ Chinese-Canadian multidisciplinary artist exploring sustainable materials, business and methods in silversmithing. Her emerging work hints at her love of nature and mythology, and her inspiration from slow fashion, capsule wardrobe, and ethical metalsmith movements.
She graduated from UBC in 2012 with a B.A. in anthropology and creative writing, and completed her public relations certificate from SFU in 2015. By day she works as the manager of communications and media relations for the Vancouver Economic Commission; by nights and weekends, she tinkers at the kitchen table or in her Chinatown studio, and may be spotted performing in world fusion, indie rock, or video game music bands as a flutist and singer.
