About
Mona is an Austrian designer and artist with international background.
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.
She fosters patterns and style from the Tyrolian Alps and underwater life and combines it with an artistic note. Her previous scientific training instilled her with curiosity and an opportunity to blur the lines between art, design and science. In her final year of her 3D Design (BA) course at the University of Plymouth 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.
