I offer education and consultations on Biomaterials Design and Biodesign.
I design spaces to learn, investigate, experiment, connect, make, sense, make sense,
have fun and experience awe.
I collaborate with students, makers and brands who want to integrate these techniques into their practice and delve into this fascinating field with me.
I cater to various creative-making fields, such as textiles, fashion, product, furniture, architecture, interior, sculpture, curation, scenography and gastronomy, customising sessions to fit each client's needs, schedules and disciplines.
I provide expert guidance, serious but not boring theory, practical knowledge, R&D support, the best recipes and tricks, a tested method, an archive, and my experience.

Workshops
For groups
1-Day to 3-Weeks
As an introduction to the subject, I offer an engaging group workshop where participants will create biomaterials
from their favourite food waste. They will explore the potential of overlooked resources and reflect on their consumption and waste habits. They will receive an inspiring lecture and have the opportunity to make their own ‘plastics’ and ‘textiles,’ integrating these techniques into their practice or sparking new project ideas.
Webinars
For groups
2-Hours
Participants will receive an enriching presentation created for their design discipline. I will share some
of my experience working in Academia, insights gained from my students and collaborations within my network, showcase the latest cutting-edge concepts and innovations within the industry, as well as the motivations why we do this. Additionally, I could offer a Q&A, guidance on how to start, and online resources to engage students in this rapidly
evolving field.
