My ethos revolves around doing more with less, crafting innovative interventions that benefit both human and non-human life to build a sustainable future.
My approach is rooted in fast prototyping and iterative conceptualisation, underpinned by holistic and robust research.
My work focuses on sustainable practices and innovative material use, integrating traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge (digital and not digital) technologies and science.
I've been involved in over ten professional projects across various scales in product design, construction, and architecture. I lectured in Product Design at UDIT and ran my own company, Humboldt Studio, before moving to London, where I continued to explore new ways of fostering harmony between humans and the environment. My efforts have been recognised with several awards, including the ‘La Caixa Fellowship’, the Sydney Asnell Award for Outstanding Performance, and the RCA Grand Challenge 1st Prize. I aim to redefine production systems, inspiring a more interconnected and sustainable future through design.
