waste into opportunity
This project turns waste into opportunity by creating a 3D-printing filament from recycled PET and fibers of the invasive Vilayati Babul plant. It questions the idea of PLA as truly biodegradable and instead focuses on reusing existing plastic, reducing the need for virgin material and supporting a more responsible end-of-life cycle.

I am a multidisciplinary designer driven by curiosity, empathy, and a deep interest in
creating meaningful, responsible work. I enjoy exploring diverse ways of thinking and
making, often blending different approaches to arrive at solutions that feel both
intentional and emotionally engaging. My projects reflect a sensitivity to people, contexts,
and the environment, whether I’m designing experiences, systems, or visual narratives. I
bring creativity, critical thinking, and adaptability to every brief, and I’m motivated by the
challenge of turning complex ideas into clear, impactful outcomes.
