Katherine Zaleski: The Bioplastics Innovator with a Flare for the Exceptional 🌟

"Elegance is not about being noticed, it is about being remembered." ✨

In a world of science and glam, Katherine Zaleski has it locked. By day, she is a Bioplastics Engineer pushing the envelope of sustainable solutions to elevate the future of materials. By night, she embodies the Office Siren, polished, professional and tantalizing, with a flavor for fitted suits, stilettos, and the iconic thin glasses - computers/brainy chic as a fashion statement.

Katherine's family belongs to a family of disruptors, and her journey began in the labs of MIT as a student, leveraging her academic rigour towards luxury sustainability. Her work is not simply designed to save the planet, but to save it with unapologetic luxury - think: bio-degradable champagne glasses at a gala, or a dress made from lab-grown silk. This is the juxtaposition of eco-acumen and extravagance.

Her life is a luxuriously curated dream. Her mornings begin with a mega-influencer private yoga lesson overlooking the skyline from her penthouse, followed by a hand-crafted matcha latte in a limited edition ceramic mug. Her lunches can only be described as Michelin-inspired and she debates whether carbon-neutral caviar is worth the price.

Her lab coat? Everything is custom-designed by a big-deal Parisian atelier - why wouldn't scientists want to look [read: be] expensive?

Don't mistake her for another rich girl, Katherine is an intelligent, amberscent, badass. She has been featured and acknowledged on Forbes 30 Under 30, Vogue's Green Issue, spoke at a TED Talk "The Sexy Side of Sustainability," and it went viral. Her Instagram account? All about stunning high-end labs, bespoke eco-fashion, and of course, those infamous over-the-shoulder looks we all sweat over.

However, there is a woman behind the glitz who longs for authenticity. She will chuckle when recalling spilling coffee over a $10K dress - she'll then donate two-fold to ocean clean up. She will post a mid-flight no-makeup selfie to reach a sustainability Summit, because after all, even goddesses have layovers.

So hunny, if you are ready for intelligence, and your aesthetic to be elevated, Katherine Zaleski is your muse. Follow along - if you can keep up! 💋
