I’m currently pursuing my Master of Science with a focus on Biodiversity and Ecosystems within the research group Sustainability Communication and Environmental Education.

I apply a collaborative and systemic approach to perform:
Design research: to go beyond symptoms, reframe problems, and support sustainable transformation. I do this by collaboratively engaging in an iterative design process.
Design facilitation & alignment: to align people within and across organisations. I do this by adopting a pluralistic view, fostering conversations, learning and co-creation.
Design strategies: to support organisations’ transition and adopt sustainability. I do this by rethinking and partnering with leaders to foster knowledge exchange to explore and re-imagine more sustainable structures, processes, and activities.
