Shape Changing Biofoam
In this project, I explored material-driven design by developing a biodegradable, shape-changing Biofoam. Through tinkering, testing and documenting material behavior, the project focused on how material properties can form a starting point for the design process. I learned to start making early, accept trial-and-error as part of research, and trust experimental exploration.
