As a Strategic Foresight and Design Researcher with backgrounds in sociology and user experience design, I operate at the intersection where complex futures meet tangible solutions. My work focuses on developing innovative approaches to urban resilience and climate adaptation challenges through evidence-based research and speculative design methodologies.
At Heated Studio, which I co-founded, I lead projects that transform climate resilience research into actionable frameworks and prototypes. We help organizations navigate uncertainty by creating evidence-based scenarios that bridge present capabilities with future needs. Our work combines emerging technologies with participatory methods to develop sustainable solutions for complex urban challenges.
I also collaborate with Girardin & Nova, where I conduct in-depth research on emerging trends and societal transformations to identify near-future scenarios and their implications. I develop speculative concepts and diegetic prototypes that challenge current norms while leveraging generative AI and storytelling techniques to create immersive narratives and visual prototypes. My work involves facilitating critical reflection among stakeholders and fostering creativity that drives innovation toward sustainable futures, all while staying at the forefront of foresight methodologies and collaborating with interdisciplinary teams to translate insights into actionable strategies.
