From an elective to a career, how working with biomaterial inspired one alum
Mia Tiernan, a Bachelor of Spatial Design alum from Monash University, was inspired by an elective on biomaterials, specifically mycelium, during her degree. This led to a career in sustainable design materials, starting as a Research Assistant at Monash and progressing to a senior production operative role at Biohm in London.
Her work focuses on using mycelium for sustainable construction materials, highlighting the importance of sustainable consumption and production patterns.
