À propos

Hi!

I am Romy, a designer with focus on material innovation, sustainability and future thinking.

Therefore I am tackling our mindset & current systems using textiles & materiality as a tool. The combination of multidisciplinary research and future thinking is the basis of my work since it is impo

...

rtant to me to shape and propose a more sustainable future.

Driven by curiosity I am always trying to push boundaries and build bridges between areas. Hence I am very comfortable working at the borders of design, especially at the intersections with new technologies and natural sciences. Living a multidisciplinary approach is therefore a key element. I believe that modern technology, applied in a concious way can create good for planet and people - contributing and aiming towards a more sustainable living.

My Master Degree work Kera-Plast in Textile Design at the University of Borås explores, therefore, a novel approach for the creation of a new material out of Human Hair, which is considered currently as waste. Transforming it into a biodegradable, stiff, shiny & plastic-looking material.
