Adriana in Gaston Frames

Ada studied product design and today works professionally in digital fabrication. In her studio, she creates visuals for objects that haven't yet seen the light of day.

Ever heard of CGI? If you move through the world on a more analog wavelength, CGI – or computer-generated imagery – might surprise you. It renders objects and people in such detail that they're indistinguishable from the real thing.

Thanks to CGI, brands can showcase products before sending them to production, saving resources and, in part, our planet too.

But this technology has its dark side. Computer-generated avatars of real people, spouting false and misleading information, are flooding the internet. Deepfake videos pose a real threat to society – one that's increasingly hard to spot.

Ada works with the technology thoughtfully, and still sees it as a positive step forward in many other areas.

Ada's life doesn't happen only behind a computer. Quite the opposite – she spends nearly all her free time in the saddle of a bike. She loves escaping into the Carpathians, though one day she'd like to head south – to Italy or Croatia.

Ada wears green Gaston frames with a precision-cut nosepiece that reminds us of a bicycle frame.
