Noa Torres

That's what the closest people call me, but Noa is time, like all of us who are reading this.
We are made of nature and organic forms, our past, present and future lives are stanzas and verses of a poem called life. A bibliography that will pass from one to another and will influence others just as we are already parts of other people.
I consider myself a lover of everything we see, hear, touch, feel and create. Now we share a space in which we will learn from other lives and they will take us to a higher destiny from which we started.
Objectively, I am a designer and craftswoman, it is the palpable work that I can and will show.
Subjectively, I am a memory and a passion that grows without limitations and loves to share and extract the time of those around me.

Lisa Boulton
Since I was a little girl my mantra has been that everything is possible and nothing is for certain and this rings true for how I will approach my experience here at the Basque Bio Design Center in Bilbao. Currently I work at a product development research centre as an Industrial Design Researcher on a multidisciplinary team of Scientists and trade researchers. My work there is largely focused on the design of medical technologies and assistive devices for people with spinal chord injury. This work is practical, and is often guided largely engineer led and so I would like to use my time here to build a research direction of my own such that I can apply for grants to work in this space of textiles + biology + technology.

Non-sequiter is my inherent nature and thereby embedded in the cartography of my progression through life. Some ares that inspire me that I carry through with me in many of my explorations are described below, however many of them are more sketches of a direction and yet to be resolved... always more interesting....

Laura Montas Sánchez

Hi there! I am Laura Sánchez, a fashion designer, textile artist, educator and soul surfer from the Caribbean. I was born in a warm and sunny city called Santo Domingo at the heart of the Dominican Republic but I´m also proudly half Colombian. I´ve been playing around art and fashion since I was a little girl, cutting up my moms curtains, sewing buttons to kitchen clothes and drawing on top of her art collection...this definitely built the case for her to sign me up for art classes from a very young age. I learned to swim before I turned two, so I can say my second playground is the sea. Whenever I´m not working or watching films you will most likely find me somewhere surfing and soaking up vitamin D. Follow me through this journey of fashion and science to see what I´ll be up to!

Paula Franco Hernani

I am Paula Franco and I´m 22 years old. I still don't know how to define myself because I want to be so many things... I just finished Fine Arts in Madrid and realized that my biggest passion is sculpting. From a very young age I´ve very much enjoyed crafts and painting, I would spend hours playing with the playdough...nowadays I realize how creating has always been my necessity. I believe that Art evolves alongside society, it is the way we relate to each other, exchange thoughts and opinions. My research is mostly focused in dermatology because of a personal trauma and has become the biggest inspiration in my work. The skin is a reflection of our emotions, the most sincere way we express ourselves. I´m very excited to take part in Fabricademy, learn new things and team up, let creativity guide us and have fun!

Ziortza Aurrekoetxea

I am Ziortza Aurrekoetxea, fashion designer and creator of the ZIORU brand, based in Getxo, a coastal town in the Basque Country.

I currently work on my own fashion brand and I combone it with my ohter job in the health field. I feel that both, the creative world and the healthcare world have a lot in common.

Since I was litlle, I have been linked to the fabrics, to the creation of prototypes and clothing. In the familiar surroundings and in a self-taught way I began to take the first stiches. Subsequently, I studied for three years at the LCI Barcelona design school, studying pattern making, tailoring and scalling.
