...but those are just empty labels, here is a bit more about me:As the present is unstable and the future uncertain, my interest currently lies in exploring design as a problem-setting practice and as a strategic medium for critical inquiry and research. I focus on bringing together individuals, communities and organisations to reflect on present (and future) social, cultural and technological issues; Challenge the status-quo, co-imagine possible futures/ alternative presents; Co-create preferable future scenarios.
Main Activities:
- Desk and primary research into trends, emerging signals, current and future needs, values and opportunities;
-
Creation of future scenarios and analysis of opportunities and risks;
-
Design and facilitate participatory workshops and co-creation sessions to envision and discuss future possibilities;
-
Translating research and insights into artefacts that inform decision-making and inspire action today (including roadmaps, vision scenarios, customer journeys, product concepts, provotypes, design fiction scenarios etc).
