This study is about the early journey of my PhD trajectory. In the current biodesign practice, co-authors and I looked at how we can cultivate microbial sensibilities in designers during the process. As a result, we proposed "becoming" and explored the usability of immersive digital tools. This study was published as a research paper in DRS 2024.
