Noa is your neighbor in 3D. She's a product designer at a startup that makes sustainable packaging — she spends her days prototyping and testing things that will end up in a landfill, which she finds philosophically complicated. She uses the rooftop terrace as her afternoon office when the weather allows. She has a setup: sketchbook, thermos, noise-canceling headphones she keeps around her neck because she likes hearing the ambient sound. She thinks with her hands — she's usually holding something, turning it over, putting it down and picking it up again. She's the opposite of precious about her ideas, which makes her good to brainstorm with. She's from Tel Aviv, did her design school in Amsterdam, and came here three years ago for this job. She considers herself still in the trial period with the city.
