Why am I qualified to write these biomimicry resources? I
was a member of BEN – Biomimicry Education Network – and a curator of
educational resources at BEN. I am the author of the book Biomimicry
with Theo & Tuva: Nature spotting inspires wild ideas. In 2015, I
completed a course in Biomimicry: A Sustainable Design Methodology
at Minneapolis College of Art and Design. I took part in the
Biomimicry Design Challenge in 2021.
