I am an industrial designer focused on making products and doing design-based research around plants. I collaborate with labs and local companies in Switzerland (where I’m based), in Peru (where I’m from), and beyond, to make new products — notably in wellbeing and skincare — that bring back the rituality behind plants through new product formats that are more sustainable than current alternatives.
