Designer-mentee

Established in Hong Kong and Jingdezhen, Julie & Jesse is the creative partnership of designer Julie Progin and artist Jesse Mc Lin. Their work stretches across the fields of design, craft and art, blending research and material experimentation into the making of innovative porcelain objects and installations. They embrace a unique approach to each project, drawing on its cultural and historic context, as well as resources close at hand. Each work manifests the duo’s constant process of reinvention.

Julie & Jesse have exhibited at institutions including M+ Museum, Design Society, the Triennale Di Milano. Their works are held in private, corporate and public collections such as the China Ceramic Museum, M+ Museum and the K11 Art Foundation.

The duo participated in design*lab’s Feature Grant research, and Design Trust Futures Studio 2019.
