Heidi Jalkh

Heidi Jalkh is an Experimental Designer trained in Industrial Design. She is a specialist in Logic and Technique of Form and holds a master in interdisciplinary research from OpenDesign, a joint program from Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin and the University of Buenos Aires (UBA).

Since 2010 she serves as a teacher at UBA, FADU and from 2020 at Universidad Austral. In 2018 she founded the interdisciplinary research group »Sistemas materiales«.

Her professional practice as a designer is the product of many interests she pursues passionately: craft, bio-inspired material fabrication, and Interdisciplinary research.

Heidi sees materials as a creative trigger. She is interested in making significant connections between the fields of biology, design, and engineering with the aim of achieving a higher level of integration between Form, behavior and material.
