This past Tuesday a I was invited to draw with the amazing artists Katy Wu, Ryan Germick, Hector GHF and Gus Reyes in the FORM Conference in San Francisco.
We had a 30 min challenge to draw the future of food during the workshop "Science Fiction & Design" lead by the inspiring Nadya Direkova and Mac Smith from Google[x] 

Thank you so much Nadya and Mac for this awesome experience and the designers who participated in the workshop for the inspiration!
