About the speaker
Located in downtown Porto, Planet Fusion Studio was founded in October 2016. Alexander Russell and Pedro Fragoso Lopes think from concept to production in the areas of 3D printing and modelling, multimedia, design, writing and knowledge-sharing.
Alexander Torres, originally from the outskirts of London, came to the small rectangle by the sea that is Portugal in his twelfth year. He has a degree in Architecture from FAUP, while doodling super-heroes on paper to the sound of Jimi Hendrix and David Bowie.
Pedro Fragoso Lopes was born in 1990 somewhere in the middle of Portugal. After becoming National Champion in swimming, and being a sax and bass player, he decided to dedicate his time do design, photography, film and scoffing sugary foods whenever possible. He has a degree in Design from the University of Aveiro, specialising also in the consumption of local pastries.
