“Collaborating with people with different expertise and multidisciplinary backgrounds is the most powerful way to work together. We’re not bound or limited to one perception or area, and it helps nourish everyone’s creativity.”

During her studies, she participated in the Design Meets Biomaterials course and the CHEMARTS Summer School. For Talisa, CHEMARTS was limitless creativity and fun.

“As a design student, experimenting in a chemistry lab was super cool because the project you work on is based on your own interests. By combining science, chemistry, and design thinking, I could move forward in my thinking.”

She describes the collaboration between students, tutors, and teachers as one of the best parts of CHEMARTS because everyone supported each other’s thoughts and helped to brainstorm ideas even further.

“Enjoy the study time because it’s the best time to let yourself go wild and crazy with all your ideas. You are also in a university with the most complete tools regarding labs and types of machinery. Use the time wisely!”

“I introduce my clients to more ethical alternative materials and raise their awareness of them. I believe the more we understand the materials, the better we know how to apply them in our projects.”

In the future, Talisa will keep focusing on collaborative work and hosting public workshops.

“Materials and design are still my passion and obsession at the same time. I don’t mind spending my time diving into it even more.”
