Hi, I am a PhD Candidate 📖
I hold a PhD in Design specializing in collaborative design processes and facilitation in professional practice. My research explores participatory methods, design skills, and strategy, with work published in journals and conferences such as CoDesign, IASDR, and DRS.
With a strong foundation in user-centered design and collaboration, I am now transitioning to the UX industry, ready to apply my expertise in co-design and research to develop user-focused solutions.
