In 2017, Struktur Event held it's largest 3-day creative conference to date. The event was located at the Left Bank Annex in Portland, Oregon, and hosted an impressive array of speakers across the industries in outdoor and performance design, research, sustainability, business, technology, team building and more. This is the first time the audio-only recordings of the speaker sessions have been released. This talk is with Anton Willis, founder of the first origami kayak, Oru Kayak.

Anton Willis grew up in the woods of Norther California, canoeing and kayaking the area's lovely rivers, lakes, and coast. He took up urban kayaking in the Bay while studying architecture at UC Berkeley. When a move to a small apartment forced his kayak into storage, he started thinking about folding kayaks..and happened to read an article about origami, thus setting the Oru Kayak in motion. He keeps up his love for architecture by very slowly remodeling his house, which he hopes to get into Dwell Magazine someday.
