About
I have always been fascinated by human societies—how people organize themselves, how power structures emerge, and how creative expression can challenge and reshape them. This curiosity led me to study Social Anthropology, where I conducted ethnographic research in an indigenous community in Mexico and made a documentary about a political art collective in Oaxaca, exploring how art can be a vehicle for political protest and social transformation.
Driven by a desire to not just analyze but actively shape societies, I moved to Berlin to study Design Thinking at HPI Potsdam. There, I discovered the power of human-centered and agile methods to drive systemic change. This led me to co-found an association dedicated to bringing participatory and agile approaches into the public sector. I also co-initiated Redesign Democracy, a project that empowers citizens to develop co-creative solutions for the challenges they face.
I spent seven years working as an ethnographic researcher and strategic designer in Europe and Asia (Singapore), primarily in mobility and finance. Yet, my core interest remained in the public sector—a space where systemic impact is possible at scale. This brought me back to government work through the Work4Germany fellowship at the Ministry of Transport and Digitalization. Since then, I have been working with federal ministries and Berlin senate departments, helping them rethink policies, services, and internal structures through co-creation, agile transformation, and human-centered innovation.
Beyond strategy and policy, I explore creative resistance and play as tools for societal change. As a clown, performer, and DJ, I run my own theater production company, using performance and humor to provoke reflection, challenge norms, and create spaces for radical imagination.
At the core of my work—whether in government, research, or the arts—is a deep commitment to empowering people to actively shape the societies they live in. I believe in breaking silos, fostering creative agency, and designing new ways of working, governing, and collaborating to build more inclusive and participatory systems.
