Made mycelium (fungi) luxurious.• Scaled MycoWorks from a basement-grown idea into the category-defining leader in next-gen biomaterials, helping bring mycelium into the luxury and design mainstream. • Led brand and creative strategy from concept to scale — shaping company, product, and technology narratives from seed stage through commercialization. • Built the storytelling system for Reishi™, translating complex biotech into emotionally resonant, design-forward language. • Directed creative across visual identity, art direction, campaigns, and content to position fungi-based materials as desirable, high-end, and culturally relevant. • Forged partnerships with global brands, designers, and institutions to launch new collaborations and drive category adoption. • Helped define a new way for biotech companies to communicate — human, aspirational, and brand-led rather than purely technical.Selected awards:2025 Design Award Winner Wallpaper*Prix FORMÆ 2025 – INDUSTRIAL AwardIn the
