Dr Carmen Hijosa came to the RCA to study for a PhD Textiles in 2009, and to develop her innovative textile Piñatex, made from pineapple leaf fibres. After graduating she founded her company, Ananas Anam with our in-house incubator, InnovationRCA.

She told the GREAT Britain & Northern Ireland Campaign how coming to the RCA helped her to foster her sustainable innovation that is now making impact in industry for their Love Letters from Great Britain film series from BBC StoryWorks.
