A course by Nicole Vindel
Nicole Vindel Barrera is a creative director and artist specialized in food. From her Barcelona-based studio, she explores new narratives of food for a better tomorrow. After graduating as an industrial design engineer at Elisava School of Design, Nicole discovered her passion for gastronomy by designing tableware for the leading, 3-Michelin star restaurant El Celler de Can Roca.
She discovered the power food has to generate empathy, awaken critical perspectives on daily actions and choices, and create opportunities to reflect on the unspoken. Nicole has since collaborated with cultural institutions like FoodCultura Foundation, BCD Barcelona Center of Design, and El Tercer Paraíso. She is also the founder of Food Design Nation and Random Happiness Art Collective.
