(Product & Material Designer in the fields of biodesign and biofabrication)
Emma is trained as product designer, but has great interest in the fields of biodesign and biofabrication. As product designer, Emma collaborated with different disciplines, from scientists, physicists, artists and designers. Through a strong design, Emma tells a compelling story. She highlights the crossovers with craft, scientific research and new production techniques. Emma is trying to create an environment where boundaries dissolve, and where different disciplines benefit and learn from others. Emma is the founder of the BlueCity lab, in an open workshop and laboratory based in Rotterdam, which is now turned into BlueCity where entrepreneurs work together in accordance with the sustainable concept of the Blue Economy.
