Drawn by geometry, nature, and purpose Irene completed her Architecture and Urbanism graduate degree in London. In 2012 she set up her independent journey theplan.is, to pursue her passion to create art installations, exhibitions, stage designs and festival structures. Two years ago she embarked on a journey to reconnect with nature and explore the world of ecological design, sustainability and permaculture. Along this journey she felt inspired to research and raise awareness on pressing environmental matters and recently created a campaign to spread awareness of deforestation. This led Irene on a 5 month-long reforestation mission in the Amazon rainforest.
