from The Femme Futurists Society Podcast · host femmefuturists

Ila Colombo has always pushed boundaries. Whether her younger self as a medal-winning gymnast or member of the National Italian swimming team, to her current roles as global citizen and cutting-edge design innovator, she is a next-level, multi-tasking powerhouse, somehow managing to juggle the demands of a new practice, a new life in Dubai, her own design-art installations and conceptual creative works (which are stunningly beautiful and can be found on Instagram - link below), as well as the needs of her small daughter – all with grace and fluidity. Co-Founded by Ila Colombo and her partner, world-renowned product designer Ross Lovegrove, DEOND, an AI & 3DPA practice in Dubai, are revolutionizing what’s possible in design and architecture by combining technology with human expertise and creativity to craft cutting-edge, innovative environments and advanced designs that are not only functional and beautiful, but also sustainable and responsibly tech-driven.A deeply thoughtful and beautiful human (inside and out!), we hope you’ll check out this conversation and find yourself as inspired as we were getting to know Ila and her multifaceted life!  🌎 More about DEOND: https://www.deond.com/📸 Instagram: ilacolombo.ai
