About Ana Lisa
I’m a Biomaterials Design and Biodesign University Professor working independently online for people worldwide. I design educational programs and teach, conduct materials R&D, curate exhibitions when I have an urge, advise on projects and care for a Biomaterials Archive.
I was born in Buenos Aires, lived in London through my 20s, was a travelling photojournalist
in my 30s, and most recently, I spent another cycle immersed in Dutch Academia.
I hold a BA in Eco-Design from London’s Goldsmiths and an MA in Design Curating and Writing from Design Academy Eindhoven.
My background spans over 20 years through multiple disciplines, but only one subject, Sustainable Design (then called Eco-Design), and since 2017, I have focused on Biodesign (short for Biodegradable Design).
