Read MoreChris is a biodesigner and engineer who is fascinated by how we can live in more sustainable and regenerative ways. After studying engineering at the University of Cambridge, Chris started his career at Jaguar Land Rover, helping to develop their first electric vehicle, the Jaguar I-Pace. He then stepped into the footwear and apparel industry, developing customisable and recyclable shoes, in the hope of reducing the impact of the 20+ billion pairs of shoes made every year.
After realising the incremental improvements to plastics and metals would never be sufficient to meet climate targets, Chris has changed his career to work with living things, as he believes nature does it better.
Chris has just finished his Masters in Biodesign at Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts, London. His research was focussed on how living materials could be used in our everyday lives, by co-evolving traditional knowledge with the latest scientific research.
