Currently researching the role of facilitation as a civic skill to strengthen political efficacy and participatory democracy.

Previously, I have completed my Master's Degree in Creative Sustainability at Aalto University's Department of Design, where I conducted research on creating connections between design, social and political sciences. I explored the notion of resistance in participatory instances by creating links how power and politics are exert when it comes to facilitation.

Interested in: Participation, political sociology, democratic theories, power, facilitation, mediation, social design, and participatory design.

Originally a designer specialized in graphic design and advertisement, as well as a (inter)cultural mediator of political processes, I carry out my work in a multidisciplinary manner mostly. Throughout the years, I have worked as a communicator, public speaker, guest lecturer, designer and researcher for different initiatives related mostly to human rights, sustainable development, political lobbying and advocacy, as well as education and research.

Aside from my work, I have been actively involved in activism for the past 10 years, mainly engaging in organizations, causes and movements revolving around human rights, migration and asylum seeking, crisis management, animal rights and climate protection.
