I’m an independent Biomaterials Design & Biodesign University Professor and Consultant, and as such,
I conduct R&D, design educational programs, advise students, institutions and brands, and care for an Archive.
My background spans over 20 years through multiple disciplines but only one subject of study, Sustainable Design (then known as Eco-Design), and I focused on Biodesign (short for Biodegradable Design).
Born in Buenos Aires in 1977, I have lived in London through my 20s, was a nomad photojournalist through my 30s, and most recently spent another cycle in The Netherlands immersed in Academia.
Argentina-born, British-Citizen, Dutch Resident.
I have held various teaching positions but primarily dedicated to my course at Design Academy Eindhoven, where I have guided over 300 projects, produced public exhibitions with my students, opened the school’s first BioLab and collaborated with experts in different niches.
This led me to develop my own methodology and to assemble a Biomaterials Archive, that seeks to inspire sustainability and autarchy.
