Mischa is a multidisciplinary designer, artist, educator and refugee working and living in New York City, USA. Her work examines reciprocal relationships between nature and technology, and their influences on human identity, emotions, experiences, biology, culture, and community. Her goal is to create awe inspiring, multi-sensory, narrative-rich ecosystems that encourage its inhabitants to redefine the boundaries between digital and physical, engineered and organic, grown and assembled, playful and logical.

Mischa’s approach to design led her to join Studio Elsewhere where she currently works as the Director of Technology. There she leads a team of designers and engineers in developing experiences that support brain health and human resilience, facilitates neuroscience research and deepens the filed of biophilic design.

I am available for speaking engagements, advising, consulting, assessments, workshop facilitation, and creative collaborations.
