Product & transportation designer passionate about form exploration, sketching and advanced 3D modeling. I specialize in concept development, modeling for production and prototyping. My goal is to create meaningful, functional products merging aesthetics and technical feasibility.

I grew up in the south of Germany and was raised with a strong focus on consistent, sustainable decisions. We often spent time in nature and the Alps, which helped me develop a humble attitude and a desire to preserve the environment.
I graduated from a design-focused high school, where I developed an understanding of beauty, craftsmanship, and the arts. After graduation, I began an apprenticeship in a small ecological bistro kitchen, where I discovered my interest in local cuisine and sustainable food practices.
This led me to work in restaurants in Iceland and London that follow radical approaches to local sourcing and zero-waste production. These experiences inspired me to explore circular products and pursue industrial design.

Asena graduated in Industrial Design in Istanbul, with studies in Portugal and Italy, and recently completed her Master’s degree in Eco-Social Design in Italy. With a background in spatial design and material research, she combines conceptual thinking with hands-on making. Her work focuses on collaborative processes that connect design, materials, and social systems to foster regenerative futures. Her recent exhibition at the Porto Design Biennale explored biomaterials as storytelling tools through participatory installations. Using ecological materials derived from food waste, she invited audiences to engage with transformation processes, reframing waste as a shared resource and positioning design as an open, collective practice rooted in care, responsibility, and ecological awareness.

I am an curious industrial design student with a passion for exploring user needs, understanding complex systems, and creating new processes. My background in innovation and product management, as well as my studies at fashion school, has taught me to view product development holistically, from initial concept to final market launch. An internship at a world-leading healthcare company in prosthetics showed me the way to pursue a bachelor’s and finally a master’s degree in industrial design. Since then, I have been working intensely on exploring design solutions, focusing on developments with people, for people, and for the planet.

I am a London-based sustainable design postgraduate with a background in interior architecture and experience working in finance. I am currently completing my Master’s in Sustainability at Kingston School of Art, where I am exploring how design can create meaningful, responsible, and inclusive spaces. I am passionate about interior and furniture design, materials, food culture, and creating environments that support people and communities. My work is guided by empathy, persistence, and a desire to make a positive social and environmental impact. I am especially interested in socially conscious design that brings together creativity, wellbeing, and sustainability, and I aspire to contribute to a more compassionate and thoughtful built environment through my future work.

Is a product designer whose work explores irony, experimentation, and a distinctive “trashy-comic” aesthetic. Since 2021, he has collaborated with Emiliana Design Studio while developing personal and commissioned projects. His practice spans objects, spaces, video, and conceptual work, combining playful narratives with a critical and socially engaged perspective that seeks to empathize with users.
He designed the trophies for the Peace Journalism Awards of the Catalan Journalists’ Association and has self-published lighting pieces such as “Low-Cost lamps”, “Dissabte” or “Anima(l)”, exhibited in Barcelona and Milan. He graduated in Industrial Design Engineering from Elisava in 2022, and his work has received a Silver ADI-FAD Award and been presented at Milan Design Week and “Museu del Disseny de Barcelona”.

Is a landscape designer based in London, trained at the Bartlett School of Architecture, UCL, and Tsinghua University. Her work explores the intersection of landscape, infrastructure, and public participation, with a focus on how design mediates relationships between human and environmental systems. She has professional experience at Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), where she contributed to large-scale international projects, leading landscape design development and coordinating multidisciplinary teams. Her portfolio spans urban public realm, ecological strategies, and speculative design research.Jo’s work has received multiple international awards, including the World Landscape Architecture Student Awards. She is particularly interested in participatory design frameworks and adaptive landscapes that respond to long-term environmental change.

Is a systemic designer and co-founder of BY THE END OF MAY, a Lisbon-based research and design studio exploring how local waste, digital fabrication, biomaterials and craft can support more self-sufficient urban futures. He holds an MA in Design from the University of San Marino and a BA in Cultural Communication from the University of Bologna. His work questions how design can move away from extractive production models towards locally grounded and openly shared practices. Over the past years, his projects have been presented through exhibitions, festivals and public programmes. He previously collaborated with the Polytechnic of Lisbon on Distributed Design activities and has delivered masterclasses for makers, artisans and creatives.
