Portrait of dina Amin taken at beyond tellerrand in Berlin 2022 by Norman Posselt

dina Amin is a designer from Cairo, Egypt. She completed her B.A. (Hons) in Industrial Design in Malaysia. Although trained as a Product Designer, dina loves to explore the intersections between various disciplines.

In 2016, dina started a side project called 'Tinker Friday' on Instagram, where she combined her passion for product design and stop motion with her views on consumerism. In this stop motion series, dina shows people what's inside the countless things they throw away, in unusual ways. dina continues to tinker, making new items out of old ones, constantly telling stories and showing people things in a completely different way.

After discovering her love for stop motion, dina also founded "Tinker Studio", where she produces stop motion videos for diverse clients and companies around the world.

Talk: A Tinker Story

In this talk dina will share her tinker story, how it all started and why she continues to tinker. She will share what she’s learnt so far and the biggest mistakes she’s done. And hopefully show you a side of Egypt you’ve never seen before.
