Eldy has a Bachelor’s in Architecture and Urbanism and practiced the profession in Peru for several years before moving to the United States. Her work follows sustainable design strategies in the early phases of the design process and is reflected in the design outcomes of her work. She believes in the importance of inclusive and accessible education, which is why her work incorporates open-source fabrication methods. She is an active member of the maker community and FabLat Kids program, and she has conducted workshops internationally about how to make interactive objects, biobased materials, and 3D printing in textiles. She recently became a member of the Sustainability Committee-SIGCHI 2023.
