Strategic Designer,
Research Lead &
Prototype Builder
Over the past decade I have worked as a strategic designer, research lead and product developer contributing to interdisciplinary projects across healthcare, sustainability, international development and the creative industries, working with organizations in Germany, Kenya, Ethiopia, India and Namibia.
I partner with organizations tackling complex social and environmental challenges to uncover opportunities, shape strategic direction and develop tangible interventions. My work always begins with understanding people and systems before moving into experimentation and implementation.
What distinguishes my practice is the ability to translate research into action. Rather than stopping at insights or recommendations, I use prototyping, material exploration and design communication to make ideas tangible—allowing them to be tested, discussed and refined in the real world.
