The Inventor - Jay Cousins


Jay Cousins is a 30-year-old inventor. His “talk to me about…” bubbles (#lbubbles) used at Palomar5 represent his philosophy: Human over tech. Among other things, Jay invented a foldable espresso-cup and turned the idea into a worldwide business. After six years, he gave up his business and came to Berlin in search of new inspiration. He has recently participated in the atoms&bits-Festival, where he offered an Upcycling/DIY-Workshop.
