Hi, I'm Katya.
I love ideas and people. A lifelong maker and tinkerer, I'm driven by a passion for creative technology and design research. I used to consider myself a product designer, but my curiosity has led me to explore the broader landscape of human-technology interactions.

Algae Bio-Yarn Workshop
alga.lab is an experimental workshop promoting hands-on engagement with biomaterials, introducing the technique of making bio-yarn from algae. Launching on Saturday 16th November, I aim to inspire creativity with eco-friendly alternatives to traditional fibres and encourage sustainable design practices through making and craft.
I love design because of the diversity of thinking practices and approaches used throughout the design process, and how it involves working with people and using out-of-the-box problem-solving to address everyday challenges.
