I’m a designer with a background in Product Design and a commitment to everyday design thinking.

I see design not just as a way to solve problems, but as a way to uncover them; Asking the right questions is just as important as finding the right answers.

My approach is participatory and co-creative, built on collaboration, openness, and shared discovery. I work closely with others to develop thoughtful, inclusive design processes that respond to real needs.

For me, design is a mindset, an active, reflective way of engaging with the world around us.

I have a background in both academic and applied research, driven by an investigative and curious mindset.

My work explores the boundaries of traditional inquiry, with a strong interest in non-formal research methods that embrace complexity, ambiguity, and lived experience.

I’m especially drawn to participatory, interventive, and active approaches, methods that engage directly with people and contexts, creating space for shared meaning-making and real-time experimentation.

I believe research can be a dynamic, collaborative process, less about observing from a distance and more about being present, involved, and open to unexpected insights.

I bring years of experience as a teacher in applied education, guided by a constant curiosity and a deep commitment to learning, both my own and that of my students.

I thrive in environments where experimentation and exploration are encouraged, and where education is seen as a shared journey rather than a competition.

My teaching is driven by the belief that growth happens through doing, reflecting, and collaborating.

I focus on innovative, hands-on approaches that support students in developing confidence, agency, and critical thinking, empowering them to navigate complexity and create meaningful connections with the world around them.

I have a strong affinity for cities, interested in the complexity and interconnectedness of urban life.

I'm interested in social innovation, and in looking for practical ways to address challenges like gentrification, displacement, and exclusion in urban environments. I take an experimental approach, testing ideas like critical placemaking and asset-based community development, and adjusting based on what I learn.

My work is about finding workable solutions through exploration, adaptation, and a focus on placemaking for whom, and by whom.
