I am architect working at the intersection of design, urban resilience, and participatory design. I bridge research and practice — from participatory planning in the field to serious games and tools that make complex challenges actionable. With experience across international contexts, architecture, and disaster risk reduction, I bring both the rigour of theoretical expertise and pracical implementation skills.
Available for lectures, workshops, and collaborations.
Technical project management and advisory across shelter, construction, and community infrastructure. From construction standards and climate adaptation frameworks to multi-stakeholder coordination and on-site delivery. I believe in design that holds up structurally and socially.
Applying design thinking to complex spatial problems through circular material development, participatory planning methods, and applied research. Collaborations with institutions like EPFL and Chalmers. The work moves between studio and field, testing ideas where they actually need to work.
Translating spatial and systemic complexity into accessible formats. From guest lectures and simulation workshops, to academic co-supervision and public talks. The goal is to engage the public, discuss burning topics, and close the gap between how design is taught and how it gets practised.
This is my input to Session 5: Academic innovation meets international cooperation, at the 5th edition of the IC Forum. It took place over two days, 26 and 27 February 2026, at the Geneva International Conference Centre (CICG).
Transformative research promotes innovation and is a driver for the international cooperation of the future. What conditions are required for Switzerland as a research hub to serve as an effective vehicle for international cooperation and to promote innovation that fosters peace, progress and prosperity?
Documenting field reflections, exploring power imbalances in community engagement, and sharing insights on the intersection of design and humanitarian aid.
