Designer, creative organiser, feminist, sustainability specialist, and facilitator based in Copenhagen.
I’m drawn towards intersections and contradictions; the complexity of the spaces in which environmental, political, and social sustainability meet creativity, ethics, justice, and care. I’m driven by my curiosity about the world, and I tend to throw myself at things I haven’t yet explored. Sometimes that leads to moving to the other side of the planet, other times it simply means surrounding myself with people who inspire me to try new things. It means tapping into my imagination and going after the things that scratch that curious part of my brain.
I aim to be a leader of change through a multidisciplinary approach to design.
I believe in the need to contest the conventional ways of doing design and aim to dismantle colonial and capitalist notions about what is considered valuable. I believe we need to address the unequal distribution of power in our societies, in order to address and continuously work towards environmental and social equity - and I believe we must harness our collective creativity to do so.
We all have a responsibility as humans to do what we can, with what we have. And to create a little more space for kindness and joy.

I currently manage a critical feminist methods laboratory, ETHOS Lab, which is dedicated to experimentation at the intersection of digital methods, ethnographic inquiry, and speculative fabulation. Apart from this I also organise Feminist Futures Copenhagen.
My current projects relate to feminist co-creation, DEIB in STEM, and decolonial technology.
