Poulami is a textile and material designer whose practice moves between craft, biodesign, and cultural storytelling. Coming from a background in luxury fashion and couture, her work has gradually shifted towards understanding how materials perform, behave, and carry meaning. She is drawn to what is routinely discarded — organic waste, everyday by-products, materials that hold traces of labour, culture, and memory. Working with biomatter and natural processes, she develops material systems that sit between craft and experimentation, shaped by her upbringing in Bengal. Her practice reflects on the relationship between people, food, and environment, questioning how design can respond to existing material cycles rather than producing new ones.
