Short Bio

Curious to know and understand the world around us, she has had a big thirst for learning. She trained as a model maker at the Arts University Bournemouth where she learned how to mix traditional to numerical processes and techniques while working with varied materials from metal, wood to plastics. 

 

She now works at the fab lab of Geneva Onl’fait. She is a project manager and modeling referent, 3D printers and digital embroiderer. She also participates and teaches in other projects that touches on Biomaterials, mycelium, kombucha, leather molding using a parametric program, and bacteria dye. This allows her as well to learn and experiment in different fields. In addition, she had the chance to participate at a course by the Ars Electronicas Festival and the fab fest challenge 2022 in Bali where she both experienced collaboration from people all around the world by problem solving current and local issues.
