Research
Research is at the core of the Edible Nest Studio practice and is expansive. In order to produce the highest quality design and educational results, research is broad-ranging and interdisciplinary, complimenting academic research style with contemporary developments and solutions.
Often this means branching out and exploring new territories, may they be in traditions that have faced political erasure, or novel technological solutions. Though the research itself is expansive, the focus of the studio stays on producing the highest quality solutions that circular design provides in culinary and creative practice.
