what is biomimi?

Biomimi is short for biomimicry, my belief and design approach. Nature has perfected sustainable design, by handling issues without harming, but in fact helping, the environment. Why not reference nature for our own designs? I hope that my work will one day be a model towards a greater, greener movement.
