Bio: Shao-Lyn Low
Design Director | Co-Founder of Eats, Shoots & Roots
Shao-Lyn has been in the design industry for over 15 years, working on a range of corporate, educational and government-based projects. A few years after completing her MA in Graphic Design from the University of the Creative Arts, UK, she discovered permaculture site Embun Pagi, and was awestruck by how little she knew about cultivating her own food, and by our high level of dependency on others for basic necessities. She then co-founded Eats, Shoots & Roots in 2012, with the aim of empowering people with the skills and tools to grow their own food. Since then, Eats, Shoots & Roots has since designed and built 46+ edible gardens, organised 100+ edible gardening workshops and sold 19,000+ edible garden products, all with the essence of educating people about their relationship with nature, through food.
