Zoe Maxwell (b. 2004) is a multidisciplinary maker born and raised in Burlington, Vermont. Her work focuses on furniture and object design, creating functional yet playful pieces that celebrate craft techniques as material translations of care and comfort. Through her practice, she seeks to reinterpret and challenge conventional expectations of familiar objects and spaces.

While Zoe works across a range of mediums, she has a particular passion for woodworking and sewing—practices rooted in her familial heritage. Through this connection, her work explores the intersections between materials and assigned processes to investigate both her lineage and personal identity. Zoe’s practice is driven by the hands-on act of making, embracing iteration, experimentation, and the acceptance of imperfections that naturally arise.

Zoe is currently a senior at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), pursuing a BFA in Furniture Design.
