About
As a response to the complex challenges that humanity faces, my work focuses on the possibilities to understand, initiate, and shape societal transformation processes. I'm particularly interested in the role of future imaginations and designed experiences to enable individual and collective actions towards more equitable, sustainable, and resilient societies.
Currently I'm studying Futures Research at the Freie Universität Berlin. Previously I've worked at the moovel lab in Stuttgart and Berlin with a focus on exploring urban transformations, and at the design studio Domestic Data Streamers in Barcelona with a focus on creating change through information experiences. Before that I studied Communication Design at the Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft Berlin with stays in Santiago de Chile and Valencia.
My areas of expertise include Scenario Construction, Social Structure Analysis, Research through Design, Vision Assessment, Field Research, Experience Design, and Visual Communication.
Selected Projects
Exploration of the mobility habits and practices in the Ethiopian capital Addis Ababa like the tradition of walking, the low-tech modes of transportation, and the sharing culture. The project aims to figure out if and how these forms of mobility could play an exemplary role for global developments towards sustainability.
