I am a transdisciplinary researcher, urbanist, and architect with expertise in creating space for diverse needs, knowledge, and ideas that inform innovative solutions and strategies, transforming that messy problem space into an inspiring solution space. Whether it's cocreating a project brief that goes beyond merely ticking the boxes, or understanding the root causes of wicked problems, I am passionate about co-producing knowledge and solutions that contribute to a sustainable and inclusive future.As a lateral thinker, I have a rich work experience including research, collaboration facilitation, project management, exhibition curation, and book publishing. My diverse interests and knowledge put me in the right position to collaborate on projects that require creative thinking and participatory approaches to solve complex problems. Currently, I work as a transdisciplinary researcher on a sustainable development project, facilitating the codesign process in a large team hosting workshops, guiding teams, and integrating diverse knowledge. I founded and run LightUp, a community of practice on the impact of public lighting in my spare time, and this experience is teaching me about the power of knowledge sharing and learning by doing.I worked as an architect and interior designer before pursuing a PhD in urbanism, where I learned about critical thinking and the importance of diversity, inclusivity, and participation in projects. I've worked with government departments, NGOs, private sector stakeholders, and researchers, and through developing the skills to work with diverse stakeholders, I became an expert in transdisciplinarity.
