About me

Hi, I’m Fanni, an engineer finding her way in the creative industry while trying to actively promote sustainable change. Last summer, I completed my BSc in Environmental Engineering in Vienna, and two months later I moved to London to begin my Master’s in Biodesign at Central Saint Martins.

This past autumn has been incredibly exciting, offering many new perspectives on sustainable innovation. In early November, I attended a talk by David S. Kong in London, where he introduced the HTGAA course. I was fascinated by the field of Synthetic Biology, which felt like the perfect bridge back to my engineering background - something that had taken a quieter role during my more creatively focused recent studies.

I am still figuring out where exactly I fit within these overlapping fields, but I’m confident that gaining knowledge in synthetic biology will guide me closer to where I want to go.
