Available to hire
I’m Greta Dalessandro, a product designer specialized in digital textile manufacturing, circular fashion, biomaterials, and wearables. My work connects industrial design with hands-on digital fabrication and material experimentation—turning textile waste and emerging biodesign approaches into tangible prototypes.
I collaborate across research, education, and freelance production, teaching 3D printing/cutting tools and biomaterials DIY, while continuing to develop interdisciplinary projects spanning packaging, graphics, and digital fabrication. I’m passionate about using technology to create more sustainable material futures.
