Jesse Greulich is an object designer based in The Hague. Her work is derived from the value of objects as facilitators of learning, and how they can be used as tools for empowerment within the learning environment. She has a strongly rooted sense of creating connections, drawing inspiration from natural elements. These connections often come to life through objects, tools and the human interaction with these.
