I am passionate about driving the future of textiles through sustainable material innovation. I excel at fusing design and technology, leveraging my cross-functional expertise and strategic problem solving to develop innovative, purpose-driven materials for the textile industry (fashion and footwear).✨As Head of Product at Modern Synthesis, I've successfully led the first public product with GANNI, featuring our next-gen bacterial cellulose material, recognized by FutureVVorld as one of the top 10 earth-friendly projects of 2023.✨My previous innovation work spans diverse applications, including engineering soft pressure sensing solutions for connected products, developing protein-based coatings for enhanced fiber wicking, and combining robotics, 3D printing and vernacular crafts in ceramic sculptures. The breadth of my work has earned me international recognition through design residencies, R&D funding, and media coverage.💡With 10+ years of experience working with Fortune 500 companies and startups across fashion textiles, automotive, consumer electronics and packaging, I'm excited to continue driving innovation and sustainability in the materials industry.🎓A recipient of the prestigious Royal Academy of Engineering SME Leaders program, I am passionate about leading teams and fostering an outcome-driven, customer-centric and collaborative culture.#sustainability #innovation #materialdevelopment #productdevelopment #fashion #textiles
