HELLO!

I am a designer and researcher whose work sits somewhere between design writing, meta-design, and criticality. Much of my current work engages with planetary perspectives and decolonial cosmologies, questioning how design might unsettle human-centered or progress-driven logics. And how, through narrative, spatial, and theoretical practices, we might mediate the planet - its histories, and futures - differently.

I started as an industrial designer, so I can still design the thing, not just talk about it. Those years taught me how to make ideas tangible, to think through systems and materiality. They also showed me how easily design slips into certainty, how the impulse to solve or “optimize” can so quickly tip into tunnel-visioned authority.

Now my work turns that impulse back on itself. I use research, writing, and speculative projects to ask what design is doing, who it helps, and what new positions it could take. Design isn’t a neutral problem-solving tool, but an active cultural force that constructs meaning. For me, that makes it essential to sit with precisely what meaning is being constructed, and continuously re-examine the methods, motivations, and assumptions that shape the work, to ask what sorts of futures are made possible and for whom.
