Freshly graduated, Annah-Ololade first studied biological engineering (M. eng in biology, INSA Toulouse, France) and more specifically microbiology and genetical engineering. She is passionate about environment and would like to use her background for sustainable purposes and help not turn this planet into a hell.
On the other hand, she is also interested in fashion, that happens to be a very polluting industry and would like to change it for the better. She thus continued her studies after her masters to study the Fabricademy, textile and technology academy postgraduate (FabLab Barcelona) where she learnt how to use new technologies, biology and digital fabrication (3D design, rapid prototyping, electronics) to developp more sustainable textile design.
During her final project, she investigated the biodegradation of textile waste using mycelium and managed to combine biology, textile design and sustainability. The results of these experiments were promising since they led her to a new flexible composite material made of mycelium, textile waste, coffee grounds that only required wastes, very low means and low energy to grow.
