Biodesign
Reimagining design through nature, critique, and curiosity.
These explorations begin in matter —biomaterials, textures, microscopic structures— but quickly unfold into deeper questions.
What are we really solving?
Is the “bio” always better?
Here, nature is not just a muse. It’s a mirror, a method, and sometimes, a warning.
Speculative design
Narratives from future(s) we need to confront.
Speculative design becomes a tool to envision possible worlds—dystopian, utopian, or something in between. These fictions are acts of critique, designed to illuminate the consequences of our present choices.
Experimental structures
Beyond the known, toward the unknowable.
Architectures, systems, and dreamlike interfaces grown from imagination and critical inquiry.
These structures don’t just explore other worlds — they question this one.
Merging speculative matter and immersive technologies, these experiments blur the line between experience and illusion.
At the edge of reality, design becomes a portal — and a warning.
