Visual storytelling is at the heart of my design practice. I translate complex ideas into accessible visuals that support communication, shared understanding, and collective action. Grounded in systems thinking and strong graphic design fundamentals, I see visual communication as a sensemaking practice—linking perspectives, clarifying intentions, and helping people understand what they’re working on together. My work ranges from conceptual diagrams and maps to brand, marketing, and educational materials developed for the Transformations Community, COBALT, ETH Zurich’s Systemic Design Labs, The Oslo School for Architecture and Design and Renzo Piano Building Workshop.

Areas of experience include:

  • Complex data visualization (diagrams, system maps, infographics)

  • Visual didactics for educational materials and textbooks

  • Event-related materials (slide decks, signage, programs)

  • Promotional materials (flyers, posters, brochures)

  • Social media templates and content

  • Website and email campaign graphics

  • Wayfinding and environmental graphics
