Maker Spotlight: Coco Lom

Coco Lom works on local design projects and murals around East London. Her driving force is making people see magnificence in the mundane. She has placed her distinctive mark and style on several projects, such as a 30 x 9-foot playground mural for Newport School in Hackney. She encouraged young students to be creative and get involved with the project and was pleased with the visual responses to the piece.

Other projects have included 'Blissful Benches' in Covent Garden, where she invited the nation to celebrate blissful moments. Each bench was named after a unique sensation, e.g. 'joy' and 'laughter'. She also was commissioned to transform a public basketball court in Islington for Pink Lady Apples to create an ongoing commitment to feel-good moments.

We're inspired by Coco Lom's passion for making designs that build a better, happier and more cultured community. Check out her Instagram here.
