Studio Leftover is my ongoing side project dedicated to material reuse and urban upcycling. I cycle through the city with my cargo bike to collect discarded materials with potential for reuse, and I also visit second-hand shops to find incomplete or obsolete products to repurpose. Through this hands-on approach, I transform overlooked waste into new design opportunities. (More images and documentation will follow.)

Collaboration with Assistant Professor Bahareh Barati
With custom build bioreactors this project explores the potential of producing sustainable materials and artifacts in collaboration with living microorganisms in SCOBY. Various material samples were created in which textile fabrication techniques and SCOBY are integrated during the growing process. The first prototype iterations were exhibited at Dutch Design Week 2024 at the Changing Gears exhibition.
