Mona is an Austrian designer and artist with international background. After a scientific career she followed her passion for a more creative life and attended a foundation year in Arts and Design at Arts University Bournemouth followed by a 3D Design (BA) course at the University of Plymouth where she graduated from with First Class Honours. In 2021 She founded her Studio in Innsbruck.
As a Designer Mona shows special interest in the materials that she uses. Her designs are a combination of her love and care for the environment, functionality and pure joy.
Inspired by her Egyptian heritage she fosters patterns and style from the streets of Cairo and underwater life and combines it with simplicity and an artistic note. Her scientific training instilled her with curiosity and an opportunity to blur the lines between art, design and science. In her final year she developed her very own material made from food waste (‘Materorganic’).
It excites her to find divergent approaches and ways to make our world as sustainable and playful as it can possibly be.
