About the Speaker

Ximena Curiel, since little she experienced the kindness of nature, while growing up in the jungles of southeast Mexico, from first hand she observed how ecosystems degraded, her love for all living things lead her to nurture and infinite romance between biology and design at an ecosystem level, thinking not only in bio-materials but also in designing companies that could work as a forest or a mangrove; she is today a Biopreneur who manufactures bio-based inks for fabric printing, and teaches Biomimicry, Ethnography, Biophilia, and Circular Economy to Fashion Design students; among many other curiosities that we might gossip about in some other time.
