Researcher, Writer, and Editor : Global
I’m a freelance researcher, writer, and editor exploring intersections of design, architectures, and social-ecological processes. I work and publish across multiple contexts and formats.
I work directly with universities, research labs, worker co-ops, grassroots communities, non-profit organisations, tourism bodies, and innovative brands on copywriting, content strategy, and communications. I also consult into design studios and creative agencies like Barkas (DK) and Standing By (AU) to create brand narratives for their clients.

Project Advisor w/ Free Radicals : Prague, CZ & Remote
Interdisciplinary studio Hænke invited me to contribute to Free Radicals, a two-year research project exploring the intersections between plant biodiversity and artistic practice, funded by Creative Europe.
2026
Artistic Committee w/ Society for Ethnobotany : Montpellier, FR & Remote
I was invited to join the Artistic Committee to evaluate submitted abstracts and organise an exhibition for the Society for Ethnobotany Annual Congress 2026, held from 31 May to 4 June 2026 in Montpellier, France. For the first time, the congress called for an undisciplined approach to ethnobotany: rethinking the boundaries of the field and recognising that ethnobotanical knowledge is generated by artists, community organisers, healers, farmers, designers, activists, and more. Additionally, I convened a session on Multispecies Encounters at the symposium.
