Teresa van Dongen (34) is a bio-designer who strives to create immersive installations that spark the human curiosity to learn more.

Prior to her design education (Design Academy Eindhoven), Teresa studied biology for two years. Here she discovered that both nature and international science labs zooming in on nature, are home to many wonders that remain relatively unknown. Van Dongen is convinced that art and design can help translate this abundance of natural and scientific potential. She is fascinated by microbial life, alternative forms of energy and material innovation. Through her designs, she likes to visually engage her audience and hopes to spark a conversation.

Van Dongen’s work is and was published, awarded and exhibited internationally.
