About this talk
Isa Jansen is a circular bio-designer exploring how aesthetics, materials and living organisms can shape a circular future. Inspired by nature’s non-toxic, waste-free processes, she seeks to collaborate with nature rather than work against it. Working with living, waste and bio-based materials, her multidisciplinary, research-driven practice combines experimentation, sample making and prototyping. In Living Traces, she challenges ideas of perfection and permanence by embracing imperfection, transformation and decay.
