Designing futures.
Building worlds.
With over two decades of experience in UX, motion graphics, and strategic communications, I’ve helped global brands, startups, research institutes, and non-profits explore their bold ideas, solve complex problems, and design what’s next by practicing a strategic imagination.
My work combines science fiction thinking with systems design to create world-building workshops, speculative prototypes, and serious games — all built to accelerate discovery, unlock creativity, and support better decision-making in complex environments.
I believe the best way to build a better world is to build lots of worlds. So I’ve built a practice around making that process accessible, rigorous, and transformational — for organizations ready to imagine differently and lead bravely.
