Charlotte Falk is an interdisciplinary designer, educator and researcher. Her practice is anchored in Industrial Design, and spans Communication Design Architecture and Art. Located in Vancouver, she is currently a lecturer in Industrial, Communication and Foundation Design at ECUAD, and teaches studio courses in Design and Public Art at Langara College.

A profound love for materiality, process and technique informs her research and teaching practice. Past research collaborations include the Design for Biodiversity project (with Dr. Louise St. Pierre and Zach Camozzi) and Designing for Public Space (with Laura Kozak and Jean Chisholm). In 2018, she facilitated a series of workshops titled Making Space, in partnership with Arts Assembly. These participatory events looked at alternative methods for site specificity, intuitive responses to space, and the democratization of design.
Since 2010, Charlotte has been collaborating with renowned visual artists in the development and delivery of large-scale public art commissions. As a designer, project manager, technical consultant and collaborator, she draws on both her experience in the building industry and understanding of contemporary art to bring complex public art projects to fruition. Design for public space and site specificity are often at the core of her work; with lenses towards sustainable acts of care for community and biodiversity, and making-based iterative design processes.
