In short, I use design to identify and break down complex problems in order to create socially impactful interventions.
Using a human-centered process that involves collaboration across disciplines and designing with communities, businesses or individuals, rather than for.
The result, interventions that come in a wide range of formats - from businesses, services, and products, to campaigns, experiences, and strategies. As long as they take into account and aim for promoting both human & planetary flourishing.
In this way, I incorporate:
Systems Thinking
Design that thinks in systems, using design-led-research to break down complex problems while always keeping in mind the interconnectivity of all the elements at play.
Transdisciplinary Process
Design that follows a transdisciplinary process, looking at problems from various angles and disciplines in order to get a better understanding of the problem at large.
Social & Environmental Good
Design that takes a social and environmental good lens, focusing on designing interventions that help address both human and natural needs, combining knowledge from the social sciences and subjective well-being with sustainability practices.
Positive Futures
Design with a mission to create more positive futures that move beyond material wealth into social and environmental sustainability, well-being, and human development. Sparking inspiration in people, and harnessing creativity to re-imagine possibilities.
