I am Jasmin Martinez and I am a textile + surface designer based in Berlin.
As a handcraft oriented designer my curiousity for simple textile processes developed into a passion for building low-tech tools that allow to prototype textiles with unusual and new materials.
Integrating Living Textiles into Architecture was part of my research during my Bachelor and Master study, and continues to be an important factor to me to rebalance our relationship to nature in the Anthropocene.
Driven by the problematics of human overconsumption, my goal as a designer is to push the boundaries of recycled materials, their aestethics and current use.
