About me

I am a human-centred designer, passionate about bringing people together across many axes of difference to build shared grounds and values for land and communities in harmony with Mother Nature and their roots.
This passion led my path exploring and living with many rural, indigenous, and under-resources urban communities, Studying sustainable tourism management and enabling projects that shape from within the local context and create tangible outcomes for their collective well-being.
