I’m an Associate Professor of Critical Design in the Department of Human-Centered Design at Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands, where I also direct the Design for Interaction masters program. I’m generally interested in the relations between design, culture and politics, and more specifically, in design’s capacity to surface and materialize alternative futures.
I received my PhD (2014) from Simon Fraser University’s School of Communication, where I was part of the Applied Communication and Technology (ACT) Lab, and have since completed a Postdoc at the University of British Columbia’s Institute for Resources, Environment and Sustainability. I am Fellow of the Urban Futures Studio at Utrecht University. My first book, Interactive Media for Sustainability (2018), was published as part of the Palgrave Studies in Media and Environmental Communication series.
