Shellworks Snapshot
Shellworks is building a world where sustainable products can be created without compromise.
Shellworks was founded in 2019 by Insiya Jafferjee and Amir Afshar who met during their Masters at the Royal College of Art and Imperial College of London. Together they have combined Insiya’s years of manufacturing experience at brands including Apple, Bose and Ford with Amir’s near-decade of design experience focusing on natural materials to create products that would have a positive impact on the world - starting with bio-based and compostable plastic. Initially beginning with polymers derived from shellfish waste, they pivoted in early 2020 to using vegan microbially-derived material to create sustainable petroleum-free packaging, with no compromise on performance, aesthetics or cost.
