Trixi has created the alluring “living signage” of our central Biodesign feature, using clay and local plants such as moss. Indeed, it is biophilic design which underpins all of Trixi’s work. This is the idea that all humans seek and receive beneficial contact with nature. “Accordingly, architecture and interior design can mimic nature through colours, shape, light or smell.” Biophilic design, says Trixi, can foster good mental health, increase productivity and reduce stress. “And I have invented biophilic graphic design.” Examples are Trixi’s Growable Graphics and Living Letters. “Yes, we can grow our graphics instead of printing them,” says Trixi. “Biophilic graphic design reconnects humans with nature. It can enhance urban biodiversity, clean our air and generates no waste.” Trixi is seeking opportunities to leverage her expertise in sustainable design – “I am totally committed to making a positive impact in this field.” She has an MA in Graphic Design from Middlesex University.
