Maja Halilovic, an award-winning biodesigner and innovator, who transforms organic waste and living systems into next-generation materials. She works with biomaterials derived from eggshells and unicellular organisms, exploring how natural intelligence can be integrated into design and manufacturing.
Her research challenges conventional boundaries, demonstrating that the future of design lies in nurturing materials rather than extracting them. By bridging the gap between biological systems and functional objects, she redefines unicellular organisms, agricultural residues, and urban waste streams into intelligent, sustainable materials that unite technical innovation with refined aesthetics. As one of the leading voices in Balkan biodesign, Maja is widely recognized for her pioneering work in organic biomaterial synthesis, advocating for regenerative production cycles that eliminate waste at the source.
