She keeps her enthusiastic curiosity getting information about new materials, investigating about geometry using modular origami and sustainable architecture. Nowadays she is working on a platform called ‘Matmap’ which connects waste materials with project necessities, allowing companies and individuals to announce the materials they don’t need to make the most of the existing resources.
