Designer, strategist and urban planner, graduate of the master’s degree Integrated Urbanism and Sustainable Design at the University of Stuttgart. My professional but also personal ambitions concern the development of spatial, environmental, social and economic strategies to achieve sustainable urban planning.I have a multidisciplinary and international package, harvested throughout my diverse studies, work and life experience. I have been working in the design industries, developing and managing a great variety of masterplans and lighting design strategies for public realm in UK, Europe, Asia and Middle East. My main focus and achievements in this field were lighting planning for smart cities, research and strategy implementation with emphasis on lighting as a medium for urban renewal. In the last few years, I shifted my focus towards broader topics of urban planning, and have been involved in sustainable urban development, research and academic projects in Germany, Egypt and South Africa. Some of the topics addressed in the aforementioned, are climate adaptation and mitigation processes in planning, urban agriculture, open city framework development, optimisation of local sustainable resources and many others.On a personal note, I try to extend my professional visions into my daily practices, slowly shifting my lifestyle towards better and more fair practices towards Mother Nature. I am exploring multiple ways on healthy and individually suited diets, but also getting better at cooking nutritious and tasty meals. I also am a strong believer and practitioner of Urban Agriculture. I am slowly drafting and reinforcing strategies to reduce my carbon footprint. In my "parallel imaginary life" I am also a professional dancer, and this transits into the current reality via great interest in contemporary dance, active participation in all type of dance workshops and historical research about this incredible form of art and way of being.
