ABOUT

 

Hi I'm Dr Slick Almonds! I'm a whimsical nut with a love for reinventing childhood favourites such as LEGO and playdough. I create art, explore science and biomaterials. Outside of playtime, I examine biotechnology inventions for patentability. I was born in Otepoti and I currently reside in Pōneke, Aotearoa.
