I am a community– and human-centered researcher, designer, and facilitator with 8 years of international cross-cultural management experience in the MENA Region, Sweden, and the United States. I am specialised in:

📚 Learning & Development — I support teams and organisations in designing and facilitating learner-centered experiences such as workshops, bootcamps, innovation labs, fellowship programs, and design sprints. 🧩 Cultural & Social Innovation — I support teams and organisations in designing and facilitating cultural experiences and festivals, and in designing impact driven services, products, strategies, and programs. 🏘 Social & Urban Change — I support teams and organisations in designing and facilitating participatory, collaborative, and community-building processes. How do I work? 🔎 I am committed to following a people-first approach. I use exploratory design research tools derived from Design Thinking and Human-Centered Design to understand people, their needs, and their context. 💡 I help organisations design and implement learning processes, cultural experiences, and community building projects. I follow an iterative design process and I lead teams to develop new concepts and strategies starting from brainstorming to prototyping and testing. 🎲 I follow an experiential and collaborative approach to support people in learning and implementing complex processes. I draw on my extensive experience in facilitation, project management, team leadership, mentorship, and coaching.
