I work and research in communication design, social design and co-creation strategies. I also teach and facilitate design and co-creation workshops.
After having the chance to study arts and design in Bauhaus University and HFBK Hamburg I consider design a tool to engage with political and social matters. And ask questions spatially and in mediated fora. I strife to take the role of a critical & active design ally within pro-equality and power-sharing networks and aim to help to amplify positions that deserve a broader platform in public and arts discourses.
I expanded my practice in exchange with international partners ranging from D-Lab MIT (USA), Twende Arusha (Tanzania), Laboratoria para la ciudad (México), teached within Hafen City University, Hamburg and Studiengruppe Informationsdesign (SI), Halle and co-founded two co-creation collectives.
