Gaja Pegan Nahtigal (born 1996) graduated from the Design Academy Eindhoven in 2023. During her studies in the Netherlands, she dedicated herself to social design, ecology and educating people about the importance of diverse urban nature, all of which are at the heart of her foraging practice. This was strongly influenced by her internship and subsequent collaboration with the Krater collective. She firmly believes that ecological change is inextricably linked to the well-being of all living beings. Rejecting academic theorising about the environment, she developed an embodied practice of foraging, not only for the consumption of wild food, but also as a reminder that humans are animals who are most fulfilled when embodied in the natural environment. Foraging thus becomes a method of practical education, terraforming and holistic health.
Through her brand “From Gaja”, she holds foraging workshops, designs herbal products and collaborates on culinary projects as a forager and “food designer”.
