I am a cross-disciplinary researcher and facilitator with a background in architecture, design cultures, and UX research. My work explores how design, knowledge, and societal change intertwine—and how we can build participatory, insight-driven processes that invite reflection and action.
With over a decade of experience across design studios, research groups, and educational institutions, I’ve led Living Labs, developed programs, and coached teams working on topics such as urban innovation, digital rights, and audience engagement. I bring a user-centered approach to each context, rooted in curiosity, iterative making, and dialogue.
Whether guiding students, co-developing public toolkits, or exploring how researchers relate to their own insights, I create conditions for learning and transformation. My multicultural background and interdisciplinary path shape a practice that is both precise and playful—grounded in questioning, collaboration, and care.
How do I work?
My approach
Design is a dialogue. I believe that insights don’t just live in reports or prototypes—they live in people. Whether it's users interacting with a game or researchers interpreting data, I’m fascinated by how we make meaning through interaction. My work explores how knowledge is shaped, challenged, and shared through design—revealing assumptions, surfacing new perspectives, and sparking collective imagination.
I work across settings—from Living Labs to card games, from workshops to academic research—always asking: How do we know what we know? and How can design make that visible, open, and shareable?
For me, design is a way to learn together. It’s not just about building better tools, but about building better ways of being in relation—with ideas, with each other, with the world.
