MYCELIUM
The mycelium incubator is a contained system, which propagates the growth of mycelium. Mycelium is the fast growing hyphae root system of mushrooms, which creates a plastic/foam like material. It can be mixed with waste produce, such as coffee grounds, and grown into forms. By creating bio based alternatives to harmful materials such as plastic, we can enter into a new bio era where we grow what we consume, making us symbiotic with our environment and reducing our negative impact.
Jessica Gregory
As a multidisciplinary designer, Jessica builds impactful brands that challenge convention and shift categories forward. Working across creative direction, brand identity, product design, packaging, innovation strategy and spatial design, she combines strategy, aesthetics and emerging ideas to create distinctive brands with a clear point of view. Her approach focuses on creating work that captures attention, builds cultural relevance and gives brands the confidence to lead rather than follow.
Her expertise in biodesign lies in exploring how emerging science, technology and sustainable innovation can uncover new opportunities. Through research, forecasting and material exploration, she translates emerging ideas into products, experiences and brand narratives that feel relevant today while shaping what comes next. The result is work that creates meaningful points of difference, captures attention and moves brands into new territory.

Through considered design and sustainable innovation, she helped position Haeckels as a leading voice across beauty, design and innovation.
