Cindy is a designer and maker. Her work invites people to explore science and the natural world in their own context.
Cindy is one half of Unit Lab, a design practice that creates playful installations and workshops inspired by science and the natural world. Their installations live in schools, museums and cultural institutions. Unit Lab regularly runs workshops with children and adults, empowering them to explore the natural world in their own context. Making science accessible and democratic is at the core of their work. Their most recent project is Green Club, an open platform developed with and for educators and students in Greece that uses art and design as a tool to deliver workshops and learning resources related to circular economy.
Research interests
Earth building tests for communal playground building
I am currently researching about earth as a building material for our play pieces. I am working towards a method that enables us to return the material back to where it came from after its lifetime.
