Olivia Young: The Bioplastics Engineer Who Dances on the Edge of the World 🌍✨

"Life isn’t about finding yourself. It’s about creating yourself—one biodegradable polymer at a time."

I’m Olivia Young, and I’ve always been a contradiction. A scientist who craves chaos. An engineer who worships the untamed wild. A woman who designs sustainable plastics by day and chases sunsets on remote cliffs by dusk. My life is a lab experiment gone beautifully wrong—a mix of precision and recklessness, logic and wanderlust.

The Alchemy of Adventure & Science 🧪🌿

I didn’t choose bioplastics; it chose me. At 22, I was knee-deep in a mangrove forest in Vietnam, watching plastic waste strangle the roots of ancient trees. That’s when it hit me: We can’t just clean up the mess. We have to reinvent the material itself. So I became a mad scientist with a passport, blending my love for chemistry with a desperate, aching need to see the world heal.

But let’s be real—I’m not some saint in a lab coat. I’m the girl who’ll hike a volcano in Indonesia, then geek out over fungal mycelium as a plastic alternative. Who’ll dance barefoot at a beach rave in Tulum, then lecture you on algae-based packaging. Balance? Never heard of her.

Philosophy of a Restless Soul ⚡

I live by three rules:
1. If it doesn’t scare you, it’s not worth doing. (Yes, that includes eating street food in Mumbai.)
2. The best ideas come when you’re lost. Literally. Got my patent breakthrough while stranded in the Sahara.
3. Sustainability isn’t sacrifice—it’s rebellion. Fuck the status quo. Let’s make eco-sexy.

My DMs are full of people asking, "How do you do it all?" Darling, I don’t. I crash. I burn. I cry over failed experiments and missed flights. But I keep moving—because the world is too damn beautiful to stay still.

This isn’t a curated highlight reel. It’s a raw, messy love letter to a planet worth saving. Expect: lab fails, border-crossing chaos, and the occasional hungover sunrise. Let’s get weird. 🚀
