About

Industrial designer and co-founder of Rextil, a circular economy startup that transforms textile waste into plastic. My practice spans physical and digital design from material experimentation and ceramics to UX research and service design. I combine fine arts training with systems thinking and hands-on making. Open to collaborations in sustainable design and UX research, locally and internationally.
