About
Weronika is a biodesigner and material researcher exploring regenerative design, material innovation, and the emerging agency of living and responsive materials.
She recently completed her Master’s in Biodesign at Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London. Her latest work investigates the intersection of agential materials and traditional crafts. Fascinated by microorganisms, she explores how living systems can be incorporated into material design.
With a focus on biodesign as a tool for storytelling and ecological engagement, Weronika examines how microbes and living materials might transform indoor environments into adaptive, responsive spaces.
Envisioning living environments where materials shift from static decor to active, microbial design agents, this project explores how agential, microbial materials can respond to and interact with their surroundings. Despite us spending 90% of our time indoors, our spaces lack healthy materials that support beneficial microbes. By incorporating Bacillus subtilis spores—probiotic, soil-derived bacteria that absorb and release moisture based on humidity— the project introduces natural sensing and stabilising functions. Drawing from Polish folk mobiles, traditionally symbolic in their movement, the work revives them as agential, shape-shifting structures that integrate living systems into microbial, responsive indoor environments. Can making the invisible visible help us care more for the unseen—and can disappearing craft become a tool for cultivating microbial care? Rewilding, de-sterilising our spaces.
