Short bio

An Ecological architect and curator of research/knowledge/interest. She works actively with biomimicry, systems thinking and future scenario building, thus trying to provide an innovative approach in the field of sustainable architecture, urbanism and design, using a multi-disciplinary collaborative approach to further invite “out-of-the- box” interactions. Previously worked for firms such as Arup, Grimshaw, Shigeru Ban and Exploration Architecture, and now as a freelancer in a variety of capacities. She believes that nature provides imaginative and creative solutions to the complex issues we are currently facing in the built environment. Her past research for Arup was published in “Drivers of Change 2006” by Editorial 2G, embodying future scenario building cards used for interactive discourse workshops, and giving greater consideration to the forces that drive global change and the role we can play in creating a more sustainable future. She behaves as a connective tissue, working between the creative and scientific disciplines by bringing a variety of diverse talents to the table to tackle issues surrounding climate change more creatively – be it through artistic interventions, sensory design or experience design. She is currently involved in projects dealing with food and its relationship to the city.
