I am an urban planner and geographer, inspired by and appreciating the value of culture and creativity in our daily life. By mixing aspects and tools of placemaking, participatory planning and socio-cultural management, my heart finds its place in the field of creative placemaking, where arts and creativity are the means to engage and activate communities, and bring out the sense of place in co-creation.
I practice freelancing, collaborating on projects that have to do with culture and creativity, public space & placemaking, urban & spatial strategic development, transnational cooperation programs as well as research on issues related to street performers and urban music studies.

Civic participation and the relevant methods and tools around participatory decision making, planning, design, implementation and management are in the core of my practice, not only focused on placemaking, but also in a broader context. Moreover, my passion and understanding of the cultural and creative field allows me to integrate interdisciplinary content and methods into projects of -seemingly- irrelevant framework.
