Architect and humanitarian professional working at the intersection of urban resilience, crisis response, and community-led 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 humanitarian contexts, spatial planning, and disaster risk reduction, I bring both the rigour of technical expertise and the groundedness of field practice.
Available for lectures, workshops, and collaborations.
Bridging the gap between research and field operations through technical expertise in shelter and infrastructure. The focus is on building systems of trust that turn emergency aid into long-term community resilience.
Applying design thinking to global challenges through innovative materials and participatory design. This work explores circular economy solutions that empower local communities to lead their own recovery.
Translating complexity into accessible experiences through serious games and guest lectures. These tools help students to connect theory with practice to navigate the ethical dilemmas of design and aid.
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.
