## About

With 14+ years of experience as Co-founder and Director at Studio for Futurology, I focus on exploring cultural and technological meta-trends through artistic research and design. My work centers on developing speculative scenarios to help organizations navigate possible futures and inform strategic decision-making processes.

My expertise lies in artistic research, design, and project management, which I apply to envision and create innovative solutions. Through collaborative efforts at Studio for Futurology, I aim to provide actionable insights and inspire forward-thinking strategies for a dynamic and evolving world.
