It’s not my full name but those near & dear to me have often called me Cory. I’ve created this blog to showcase my work, creative process & day to day life & inspirations. I’m currently traveling across the globe from my home country in Canada to Australia. You can read up on my travelling endeavours specifically in the Adventure 2012 tab.
I’m a 20-something Business Graduate with a flare for creativity. I live to create new & inspired items from patterns I personally design. Crocheting in particular has been a technique I’ve been able to perfect after being taught at the age of 7. I’ve also had other artistic outlets over the years including sewing, beading, & even lace making.
The drive & inspiration for CUExperiments came from the past few years of attending Uni. During my third year, I couldn’t stand not having any more creative outlets & was going crazy analyzing business cases non stop. It was the first time I had nothing to make or imagine anymore. I even attended an arts school during my high school career, so you can guess I wasn’t very happy. For the winter holiday I made a list of everything creative I wanted to cram into one month. I started with reading multiple Nylon magazines & finished with making & designing an entire hooded coat. I was hooked again & there was no way I was going back to forgetting how much creating my own designs made me happy.
Since then I’ve sewn myself dresses by staring at a mannequin for days on end, sketched from scribbles to keep my mind creatively active, and more recently I started crocheting again. I’ve even brought my crocheting with me while travelling!
A weird little fact about me? I grew up with Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis. As a kid, my joints would hurt to the point where I wouldn’t want to move them anymore. My joints still hurt occasionally & my body really doesn’t like the cold. Oddly enough, my hands tend to be in the most pain still but I try to work through it & always remember to stretch.
For more about me, you can check out my personal posts here.
Don’t forget that you can also stop by the CUExperiments shop at Etsy!

Thanks so much!
