As an educator, researcher, curator and consultant,
I design educational programs, teach, conduct R&D, curate exhibitions,
advise on projects and care for a Biomaterials Archive.

I was born in Buenos Aires, lived in London through my 20s,
was a nomad 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 I focused
on Biodesign (short for Biodegradable Design or made from biomass).

I curate when I have an urge, or something to say. I write when
I want to research, and teach for the impact, but mainly learn from my students.
