We are surrounded by plans for the future through policy, systems, and decisions made today. But most of them remain abstract. Careful. Created to be agreed upon.
As the world becomes more complex, many of the challenges we face can’t be solved with simple solutions. They require more radical change. What’s missing is not direction, but imagination. Without a tangible sense of what a future could look and feel like, it becomes difficult to move towards it, let alone believe in it. That’s where design comes in.
“A young generation isn’t dreaming of the future, they are hoping to survive it.”
“Dreams inspire us to believe that things can be radically different.”
- Anthony Dunne & Fiona Rabby

I’m an independent designer working at the intersection of research and visual design. The challenges we face today don’t belong to a single discipline. But the way we work often still does.To create futures that people can actually act on, different fields need to come together, where knowledge and imagination meet. That’s why I like working with people outside of design like educators, scientists, healthcare professionals, architects and policymakers.They bring deep expertise. I bring a different way of looking, one that can open up new directions, ask unexpected questions, and make ideas tangible.
