    Empow­er­ing the Future of Furniture Making!

    As a member of this orga­ni­za­tion, I have a strong desire to build up a commu­nity through programs and advo­cacy, to increase oppor­tu­ni­ties and find other people in a similar career and path, and to work collec­tively to build a world where there are more oppor­tu­ni­ties for furni­ture makers.’

Mia Freer is an indus­trial designer and craftsper­son. Her recent projects include 3D printed, renter-friendly wall lights and sustain­able home goods and a 18-hole mid-century modern mini golf course.

She grad­u­ated from Cleve­land Insti­tute of Art in 2022, with a senior thesis that focused on reduc­ing the effects of Furni­ture Poverty and its impact on the Cleve­land commu­nity through the design of flat-pack furni­ture utiliz­ing sustain­able CNC machin­ing processes and a one-for-one busi­ness model that would connect people living in furni­ture poverty with furni­ture in Cleveland.
