Julie Heij – The Grass Garment: the entire journey

Julie Heij is a Master’s student in Industrial Design at the University of Technology in Eindhoven. After completing her bachelor’s degree in Industrial Design at the TU/e in 2023, she started focusing on material design and textiles. For her, the complexity of the transition to a more sustainable future starts with the materials we design with. She believes that with the ever-accelerating development of technologies, we sometimes fail to realize or even forget our current designs’ impact on the world. She therefore tries not to put people at the centre of her designs, but nature and the climate are her number one priority.
