I’ve worked on speculative design and design fiction projects to provoke change, addressing topics such as IoT, education, lifelong learning, smart cities, urban food production, and youth-driven mobility systems. Creating tangible future visions requires conceptual thinking, strong visualization, and compelling storytelling, balancing today’s realities with tomorrow’s possibilities while anticipating both benefits and challenges.
