I am a multifaceted social designer and researcher tackling systemic challenges. I use design to add new perspectives to societal issues, public space life, and culture. I apply a human-centred and inclusive approach to bridge societal gaps and ensure impactful solutions.My work spans various design challenges, from digital agencies & startups, social innovation organizations, to self-initiated projects. I dabble in the space between teams, customers, and users, from the initial stages of discovery to the validation of projects. I graduated Cum Laude with an M.A. in Social Design from the Design Academy Eindhoven.
