I am a Slovenian-born industrial designer or rather a maker. I graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts and Design in Ljubljana. For the past 3 years, I have been a freelance material designer and researcher, crafting biomaterials in my home studio. I am driven by the explorative and experimental practices of design in collaboration with natural and technological processes. In and with my work I seek regeneration through materiality and would like to show, how different our world can be built and how exciting that might be.

With that, materials present a crucial step in overcoming environmental challenges as well as a major contrast to the digital world, that has overflushed our lives. They are still the most real thing there is for us. By incorporating different fields of knowledge, disciplines, and sensations in their making, the work has also become a very personal journey for me.
### _**The continuation of biomaterial research and design**
Biomaterial prototypes I have made before were fabricated with simple tools, showcasing that meaningful solutions and ideas can emerge on a basic production level. Highlighting the importance of incorporating human senses and out-of-the-box thinking in design is, what I believe, a starting point for the formation of new materiality.
But in order to generate purposeful ecological solutions for reframing our societal production systems and needs, the biological operational space and technological operational space need to fuel each other in a reciprocal relationship. The technological support in the experimentation of new material practices through biofabrication and biotechnology is what I wish to investigate further and I believe I am in the right place.
