Mina Mahouti works as a designer and creative consultant at the intersection of circular design, research and craft. Her work focuses on both an ecological understanding of material cycles and the social and geopolitical contexts of matter. Her design concepts are based on a visual, narrative approach and critical ecological thinking.

In collaboration with transdisciplinary partners, she aspires to raise awareness of the materials that surround us. Through various design formats, current phenomena are reflected upon and ideas for future scenarios are developed.

She holds a Master's degree in Eco Social Design from the Free University of Bolzano and worked as Creative Lead at 48 Stunden Neukölln, teaches in the Innovations Lab und greenlab at Kunsthochschule Weißensee and supports the experimental lab at Matters of Activity at HU Berlin alongside her freelance design work.
