Huissoud is an experimental freelance designer working between London and Paris. She created Studio Marlene Huissoud in 2013.

In 2014, she graduated from the MA Textile Futures at Central Saint Martins’ School of Art and Design in London where she developed the project 'From Insects': an exploration of insect materials from the common honeybee and the Indian silkworm. Her work questions our way of making by challenging the properties of natural resources. She believes in the value of the concept, not only with an outcome but with the complete creative process.
