Jessica Evans. Biodesigner. Future Thinker. Change Maker.

Passionate, driven and a believer that by practising science fiction thinking and manifesting solutions, a new way of life can be created. Problems arising through climate change steer a need for sustainable practices and collaboration. My goal is to develop dynamic solutions and designs that positively impact a rapidly changing environment.

Discover the Alginator: a cyber-physical system that measures energy usage, calculates carbon emissions, and offsets them in an algae bioreactor. This solution addresses the carbon impact of digital fashion for Industry 5.0. By combining carbon capture technology, digital rendering, and augmented reality, we enable the visualization of digital fashion's carbon emissions while providing a climate-positive solution. The Alginator leverages the power of algae, the fastest carbon eater on the planet, to offset the environmental footprint of digital fashion and promote sustainability, creativity, and democratization within the industry.
