As a co- host of Ethnoborrel(2017- 2022), I organised regular meetups for professionals interested and invested in ethnographic practices.
It was a gathering of practitioners from diverse fields where we present work, seek advice from peers, discover opportunities, advance skills, and link up with broader global networks. My interest in anthropological and ethnographic methodologies stems from the fact that designers have to be keen observers and sense-makers of the human context they are designing for.

Holis is a non-profit organization that fosters social innovation through interdisciplinary collaboration and collective intelligence. Holis has evolved over time but it originated as a place-based learning program and an action lab that brought together professionals from a wide range of disciplines to work on social innovation projects.
As a core team member of Holis during the 2020-2022, I relaunched, commissioned content and edited the newsletter for the Holis community, Holis Dispatch.
