Lisa Vander Plaetse (A.K.A. Matuta) is a multidisciplinary footwear researcher. She sees shoes are artefacts that can tell stories of the human body, technology, culture, and self-identity. As a queer femme coming from a lineage of immigration, Lisas’ design process is an opportunity to conduct sociological research around the theme of identities and shape new stories through the medium of footwear and collaborative work.
Coming from an industrial design background, Lisa has applied her technical skillset towards the exploration of innovative footwear solution within global brands such as adidas, aldo group and new balance. Through her work with smaller independant studios and artists such as Skua Studio, Yvanna Muradin and Meru, she experiments with multidisciplinary storytelling with context awareness and critical thinking.
