INTERACTION DESIGN | MATERIALS EXPERIENCE | ADVANCED (SOFT) MATERIALS & textiles
Alice is a designer and design researcher whose work revolves around people's experience of soft materials, focusing - though not exclusively - on textiles.
She is a PhD candidate in the Materials Experience Lab at the Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands. In her research, she applies a Material-Driven Design approach to unveil the potential of Animated Textiles for novel experiential and performative possibilities. She combines knowledge in interaction design, smart materials, digital fabrication, and textile design to explore how textile artefacts elicit certain actions from people and, ultimately, how this leads to novel ways of living and doing.
Her mission is to apply knowledge of emerging materials and novel textile production methods to improve the experience of textile products and challenge the textile industry's negative impact on our planet's future.
