I'm Meryem Bougdem, an MSc Industrial Design graduate from Politecnico di Bari with a background in Fine Arts and five years of professional graphic design experience. I'm drawn to biomimicry, parametric design, and research-led approaches to making. I'm hands-on by nature, I care about how materials behave, how things are manufactured, and how design performs in the real world. I'm seeking my first role in industrial or product design where I can work closely with materials, prototyping, and production.
