Anya Freeman: 3D Printing Living Sea Walls

Anya Freeman is founder and CEO of Kind Designs, which 3D prints living seawalls functioning as coral reefs with embedded sensor systems for collecting water quality data. Anya was born in Ukraine and has lived all over the world – she settled in South Florida to attend law school. After her house on South Beach flooded, and frustrated with the lack of innovation around rising sea-levels, Anya worked on finding technological solutions to this global challenge, that both supports the environment and has economies of scale.
