Nature’s Blueprint

Rethinking Sea Walls with Anya Freeman

In this episode of In The Naad, Taylor sits down with Anya Freeman, a visionary young entrepreneur on a mission to save our coastlines. As founder of Kind Designs, she’s reshaping the future of coastal protection with 3D-printed bio-identical sea walls that don’t just defend against rising seas and flooding. They also breathe life back into the ocean.

These living seawalls harness biomimicry, echoing mangrove roots in Miami or oyster clusters in New York, to attract marine species, dissipate waves, and purify water. Over time, shells and marine growth naturally fortify the walls, sequestering carbon and creating stronger, more sustainable coastlines. Anya’s work proves that technology and nature can collaborate to heal the planet, one shoreline at a time.
