In 2018, I turned 16 and discovered my love for the mountains. From that moment on, I immersed myself in gear, always dreaming of the perfect backpack for me. I started backpacking using an IKEA backpack, fantasizing about creating one of my own. Choosing environmental engineering seemed like a good idea, but backpacks fascinated me even more and when I grow up, I want to make bags. Even if not in terms of research and development, this project holds the last six years of my life, or maybe that was R&D… personal R&D.
