Design Transforms is a lecture series from the Product, Ceramic and Industrial Design programme at Central Saint Martins, where expert practitioners are invited to share their thoughts on the idea of transformation examined through the lens of their work.

Sanne Visser is a Dutch designer and researcher, and the founder and director of Studio Sanne Visser and HairCycle. Based in London, her studio explores material innovation and future thinking through making and learning, with a focus on circular worlds. Working within regenerative and systemic design, Studio Sanne Visser examines the entanglements between social, ecological and technical domains in response to the climate and social crisis.

Sanne is internationally recognised for her pioneering work with human hair as a material resource, developing yarns, ropes, textiles, composites and open-source tools, often through interdisciplinary collaboration. For nearly a decade, her practice has been grounded in a participatory, community-led approach to material design.
