Specializing in hand-sculpted resin designs and based in San Francisco, Tina Frey Design is known for its unique and creative collections.

The shapes and colors are inspired by organic forms found in nature and objects discovered in her travels around the world. Browse our selection of Tina Frey tableware, dishes, and serving trays.
Born in Hong Kong, Tina Frey had always been creative from a young age, displaying interest in drawing, knitting, sewing, and anything that involved creating with her hands. Not a day went by where she wasn't making something. Although she enjoyed this, it did not occur to her that this love of creating could be a future career. She went to university in Canada and graduated with a major in Biology and a minor in Chemistry. She later returned to school to get a business degree in finance and ultimately decided to became a CPA. Despite her decision to go into finance, her love for designing and creating never wavered.
After graduating, she worked as an accountant for several different companies, but behind closed doors, she kept coming back to her love for design. Then, at age 40, Tina Frey left her career in corporate finance and set out to start her own company around her lifelong passion. Without any formal training, Tina started her creative design company Tina Frey Design.
Tina wanted to specialize in a certain material and came across resin which she had worked with before. Knowing that not many people work in resin, she thought of all the possibilities and pieces that could be made. So with a based knowledge of the material, she began designing and crafting resin pieces.
Tina sculpts each piece in clay and hand-made molds are created from each design and used to cast the vessels in small batches of color. These pieces are then hand-sanded, and each carries a unique beauty that promises quality and integrity. The inspiration for her designs is drawn from several different sources. The fluid lines and organic contours of each piece emulate the curves and beauty of nature. While the vibrant colors can be mirrored by the objects and foods she has discovered from traveling. Each piece is designed with the focus of combing simplicity, functionality, and beauty.
Today, Tina Frey remains the CEO and designer at Tina Frey Design, with her pieces showcased in hotels across the world including the Four Seasons, Raffles, and Edition Hotels.
