Frustrated with existing options, Emily, founder of Ocean Made, wanted a better biodegradable planter pot. Working with Fun Stuff Design, we developed a cost-competitive custom material that uses seaweed to improve performance — reducing and eliminating transplant shock for faster-growing, healthier plants, and an earth-safe alternative to peat-moss-based products.

Seeking an effective way to present their innovative seaweed ingredients to prospective buyers, we worked with Macro Oceans to develop a custom packaging solution that leveraged our in-house seaweed paper. The packaging turned into a conversation starter, and helped differentiate the ingredients. Design and Production by Fun Stuff Design.

AlgiKnit had a material, but was missing an easy way to tell a story that made sense for a general audcience. I developed a shoe concept that featured AlgiKnit filament, and 3d printed flexible kelp-based components. All completed as part of my Masters of Industrial Design at Pratt Institute. The press generated by the concept shoe directly lead to a $2.3M seed round lead by Hong Kong based Horizons Ventures

An internal innovation project developing paper with seaweed inclusions. Used in projects for Ocean Made, Macro Oceans, and The Center for Craft.
