Lorenzo Costanzo is a materials scientist and certified biomimicry educator with over fifteen years of experience across academia and industry in R&D and product innovation. His work sits at the intersection of materials science, biomimicry, and systems thinking, exploring how the logic of living systems can reshape the way we design, build, and innovate.He works as an educator and facilitator, creating learning experiences that invite people to slow down, observe, and translate the strategies of nature into new ways of thinking and doing. Rather than treating nature as a toolbox, he approaches it as a mentor, helping individuals and teams develop curiosity, relational thinking, and a deeper sense of interdependence.His technical background spans advanced materials and technologies, from aerogels and graphene to mycelium-based composites and biomimetic approaches to desalination. Alongside his work with companies, he co-founded AConnection, developing programmes that connect biomimicry, ecological thinking, and post-growth perspectives. His work is guided by a simple conviction: the shift we need is not only technical, but cultural,and it begins by re-learning how to pay attention to the living world and our place within it.
