Biography

Interview

I am a director at Assa Studio Limited in London and have been at the forefront of exploring the creative potential of additive manufacturing since the early 2000’s, with work exhibited and included in major international galleries and public museum collections.

I have produced some of the world's first mass market 3D printed products. My designs integrate sensors and AI with bio-inspired forms and mechanisms. I founded the Digital Forming®️ co-design technology, a 3D software powered by AM (3D Printing) urban manufacturing networks.

In my recent research project supported by Kyoto D-Lab at KIT Kyoto Institute of Technology in Japan, I developed, in collaboration with macromolecular and biomaterial scientists, new bio-inspired 3D autonomously generated design methodologies, demonstrating radical additive manufacturing efficiencies for both Industrial design and architecture.

My latest work was awarded Re-FREAM research funding by the EU’s S+T+ARTS program, to develop my vision of a new evolutionary design methodology, whereby embedded user ergonomic and biometric sensor data are used to evolve and improve objects’ functionality and durability over time.

I am also a visiting lecturer at the Bartlett School of Architecture, and the Royal College of Art in London.
