MORE ABOUT ME...
I'm a designer that tackles complex challenges through a systemic approach, addressing people as part of an ecosystem rather than at the centre of everything. I've come to understand that systemic and interdisciplinary thinking - as an integral strategy in the design process - contribute to the development of outcomes that bring sustainable value to people and organisations.
On a personal note, I enjoy dynamic environments, exploring new cultures, and collaborating with people that have different viewpoints.
