༄ About ༄

Bio Designer ★࿐࿔ Engineer ★࿐࿔ Artist ★࿐࿔ Explorer

I want to do and experience as much as possible, so for the moment this how how I describe myself to try and capture all the endless and crazy things I hope to do as I continue learning, experimenting and developing for my future.

In England I studied Mechanical and Electrical Engineering at the University of Bristol, it satisfied my itch for learning and solving complex maths problems, coding and 3D design. However, I knew I was craving something more original, boundary-breaking and mutli-disciplinary.

Wanna keep up with my journey ?

༄ Inspiration ༄

I am interested in so many things and believe the Fabricademy course will help bring all my various projects, sidequests and passions under one roof.

I have been fascinated by the BioDesign world for years due to the close contact relationship that we can create with nature through symbiosis; and the beauty of the ecosystem architecture that can be translated into our world through biomimicry.

I am most excited to explore biofabricating materials, biochromes, 3D bio/printing, soft robotics and skin electronics!

༄ Visions For The Future! ༄

I have had a pretty strong idea which has developed over the years of what one day I would love to create. This idea stems from creating a living biomaterial which is grown to the shape of the body for a more customised experience to the user. This biomaterial would harness reactions of the surroundings to produce a particular function.

Such as:

  • bioengineered bacteria changing colour in response to body temperature ( colour change is visual on the garment )

  • biomaterial grown with extremophiles to assist in surviving in extreme environments e.g. in an environement with particularly high temperatures or a lack of oxygen

  • bioengineered bacteria to assist in a medical environment, e.g detect a change in blood glucose levels for a diabetic (garment then secretes insulin through the skin barrier for a less invasive procedure)

For my fabricademy final project I would like to create a living biomaterial which contains bioluminescence that can survive for a period of time. This would create an organic shaped garment that is moulded to the shape of the model. I plan to create a mould which enables the biomaterial to grow on it that can be dissolved after process is complete.
