ASAF BALAGA — HTGAA Spring 2026

About me
I’m an industrial designer currently pursuing a MDE Degree at Harvard. In my practice, i’m focused on multidisciplinary research - utilizing digital & traditional fabrication methods, computational methodologies, philosophy and critical thinking - I observe, dismantle and reconstruct the concepts I’m working with, using whimsical and subversive motives to question the ordinary and unearth speculative near-futures. I believe that design is a tool to address social , environmental & economic wickedities, advancing us towards a more holistic and responsible approach towards just being and being just.
