I am a multidisciplinary designer and researcher specialising in materials, product, and jewellery design, currently working as a Materials Librarian at Studio Silern Architects. My practice is centred on material-focused research, where I act as a researcher, sourcer, supplier liaison, and collaborator in shaping the look, feel, and narrative of various architectural and interior projects. I work closely with senior designers and architects to source innovative materials, provide alternative options, and develop cohesive material palettes.
In my design work, I focus on the intersection of digital and physical realms, pushing the boundaries of sustainable materials and production methods. I create small to medium-scale products and jewellery inspired by history and nature, using materials to convey stories about human impact. My repertoire includes traditional architectural materials as well as innovative bio-materials such as mycelium, bio-plastics, and crystallisation. I bring these materials to life through modern fabrication techniques including 3D scanning, CAD modelling, 3D printing, laser cutting, and CNC machining.
My experience spans commercial fit-outs, residential developments, and design competitions. I have been deeply involved in material research, advising on sustainable alternatives, and overseeing the entire material selection process. This multidisciplinary perspective—blending architecture, product, and jewellery design—enables me to contribute unique insights and innovative solutions to each project.
I hold an MA in Design Through New Materials from Elisava, a BA in Design from Goldsmiths, University of London, and a qualification in Silversmithing from El Taller de Joyeria in Barcelona. My work continues to explore the cultural and practical significance of materials while advancing sustainable design practices across fields.
