What I do

Materials R&D

across a wide range of disciplines: from green chemistry to biology, biomimicry, material science, soft matter physics… Working side-by-side with field experts.

 Concept to prototype

Translating design concepts in functioning prototypes across multiple scales: from material properties testing to products and large-scale fabrication.

Workshops

inspiring students, designers and companies to spark innovation starting from a materials-centred design process.

My approach

Collaboration

across diverse fields to create ground-breaking projects, working with academic research centres, industry R&D departments, cultural institutions and creative practitioners.

Whole System Thinking

in the design process: assessing the environmental impact, researching circular and closed-loop solutions to material challenges.

Insights

on the historical, cultural, social and environmental context concerning each project and material involved.

I have won international residencies and commissions. My projects have been presented on national and international press.
