My Name is Roee Ben Yehuda, I’m 26 years old, currently living and studying in Israel. In the past semester, I attended Design Academy Eindhoven as an exchange student and took part in the ceramic minor.

My passion for design took many different forms throughout the years. It started at a young age with fashion, when I started collecting sneakers, researching brands and fashion designers, and eventually starting my own small label. As I got older my love for graffiti turned into a fascination with graphic design, which led me to work as a magazine designer and art. But after several years, I decided to look for a new way to express myself. Having an increasing interest in ceramics, I got a spot at a local studio and started learning about clay and pottery. The journey through all those disciplines made me keen to dive deeper and get an extensive formal education in design, which is why I enrolled in an industrial design degree.

Throughout my projects, I have always been intrigued with material research, the combination of different disciplines, and innovation. At the same time, I have tremendous admiration for crafts, natural materials, and knowledge that had been passed on from older generations.
