About
Sequoia Fischer is from Arizona’s desert Sky Islands. She grew up hiking, dancing, and dreaming of new worlds for herself and many animal friends. She always begged her mom for more plants and pets, finding a kinship with a diversity of life beyond humans. On her adventures through the desert, she would build forts from dried out agave and mesquite branches. She loved to be busy, learning, and creating.
As an adult she held true to the same elements of her early life: dreaming, creating, and building for her animal, human, and plant friends. She graduated from the University of Arizona with two bachelor degrees, one in Ecology/Evolutionary Biology and the other in 3D Studio Art. Later in life she moved to Spain to study the architect Antoni Gaudí and earn her Masters in Biodigital Architecture.
Early in her career in California’s Bay Area, she worked as a protein engineer/ synthetic biologist in hopes that this path would help her build beautiful things with nature. She now finds herself working with three other talented woman from across the globe in their biotech startup, Electric Skin. Their mission is to grow self charging biodegradable electronics that could one day be used to power our homes.
In the coming years she hopes to continue to build with nature, providing healthy habitats for her human family and the diversity of life on Earth.
