I don’t provide answers
I create spaces
where people can reflect, challenge existing narratives, imagine and co-create scenarios through play.
My work integrates research, design, and facilitation to harness the potential of play in driving change.
Using tools like games, game mechanics, workshops, and storytelling, I help people:
Reimagine how we assign value and build equitable systems.
Reflect on their roles within complex ecological and social networks.
Prototype ideas for collective action and community resilience.
Through playful methodology, I address themes of climate justice, alternative economies, and community restoration and creating pathways for connection and hope.
Collaboration
Is
Key
Collaboration is at the heart of what I do. I work with artists, researchers, educators, and community leaders to design experiences that are not only impactful but also adaptable to diverse contexts.
By inviting others into the process, I ensure that my playful methods are equitable, inclusive and scalable.
Whether it’s a participatory workshop or a speculative game, each project becomes a shared journey, where participants shape outcomes in ways that resonate with their lived experiences.
