VIVIAN TAMM
Hey there 👋
I am a designer and researcher working at the intersection of engineering, biotechnology, material science, and architecture. In my work I am exploring how responsive materials and living systems can shape adaptive form, structure, and behaviour across scales.
Currently based in Delft, I am pursuing my M.Sc. in Industrial Design Engineering at University of Technology Delft alongside upcoming studies at Georgia Institute of Technology. I hold a Bachelor's degree with highest honors from Weißensee Academy of Art and Design Berlin.
