Ella Caine

Design student at the University of Leeds, passionate about biomaterials, nature-inspired design, and regenerative approaches. Committed to sustainability and eager to explore opportunities that drive positive change in these areas. My current practice focuses on using grass and stinging nettle fibres to develop biodegradable composites through experimentation, while assessing their feasibility for medium-scale production. As a vegan, I embed my values of low-impact, conscious living into both my personal lifestyle and design work, striving to create scalable alternatives to extractive materials and systems.
