Local Intelligence
Creative Project Design, Strategy Development and Social Innovation
  • With a main interest in the systems, situations, and services people find themselves in, my focus is to find out how we can design new ways of living and working together. Through topics like public space, education, policy making, and business innovation, design is a service that has to rediscover its position in society. A designer has to be a person with the ability to redefine the relations between situations, systems, objects, materials and services in our society. Therefor I responds to what I see, hear and feel, offers solutions, alternatives and sometimes provokes with a comment.

    Experiments

    Experiments are things you do that have a high chance of going wrong and have no specific function at the time. Nevertheless these experiments play an important role in the development of thinking and acting over time.
