Senegal ()

I am an industrial designer with more than 7 years of experience. While working with an american textile brand, I noticed how much waste I was generating. I started promoting a more sustainable collection at office, which came out and got praised on the market. That is the moment I fell in love with sustainable materials. I wish to develop more ways to help the environment. By working together, I am sure we will be able to achieve much for the planet.

Together let’s be creative

„Upcycling is an important pillar in establishing a circular economy. In the Global South in particular, it contributes to the preservation of traditional handicrafts, to an increase in the quality of life and creates prospects for young people.“
