Visitor Info

ALL HANDS ON DIRT is an invitation for kids to engage with learning, exploration, and risky play in nature through the lens of trail stewardship and trail building.

With tool affordances (scale, aesthetic, human factors) designed specifically to include children in all aspects of assembley and trail building, we can prompt exploration and education of local forests and promote a relationship of reciprosity between trail users and builders.

Working collaboratively with the NSMBA’s youth trail building program we designed, developed, and tested potential and final designs through a serious of trail and tool building workshops.

Sasha Bishop is an industrial designer based in North Vancouver, BC, Canada. Growing up between Squamish and North Vancouver, he has always been inspired by the outdoors, this connection to nature is at the core of his design practice.

Sasha’s work focuses on creating sustainable, intentional products that enhance everyday interactions with our designed environment and others. Always looking to innovate throughout the design process to create objects that are not only functional but elevate the spaces they inhabit and the experiences they create. Striving to design with a mindful approach that respects both the user and their environemnt.

Outside of design, you can find me in the mountains, whether it’s on two wheels, camping, hiking, or skiing; adventure is how I fuel my creativity and inform my commitment to responsible, innovative design.
