I'm an urban planner and human-centered designer based in Berlin. I help cities translate their climate goals into action through international climate and innovation initiatives at ICLEI - Local Governments for Sustainability.
I lead planning and policy projects for city governments, design and facilitate public engagement strategies, and work with public- and private-sector partners to tackle urban challenges, with a particular interest in urban tech and climate adaptation.
In my past career as a UX designer, my work ranged from engagement platforms for Boston’s housing department to voice UI integrations for Sonos and a connected indoor garden that grows food in your home. Those experiences continue to shape how I approach my work today: with a focus on the needs and realities of the human actors that create and experience change. I hold a Master in Urban Planning from the Harvard Graduate School of Design.
In my free time, I’m probably exploring Berlin by bike or attempting to implement all of Priya Parker’s principles from ‘The Art of Gathering’ at a dinner party.
