Research profile
Renaturing our living environment is essential for a healthy, sustainable future, but we can't achieve it if nature remains invisible in our decision-making processes. I create information systems and digital experiences that change that: tools that make ecological data come alive, that help policymakers see the impact of their choices on urban nature, and that empower individuals to become active participants in bringing green infrastructure into their communities. When we design technology that makes nature visible and actionable, we open up entirely new possibilities for how we shape our cities.
