Presented work on children's right to play @ BIN-Norden Conference

Antwerp, Belgium

Curious, eager to learn, sociable, sensitive, loyal, persistent, and playful, that’s how others would describe me. As a designer, I seek beauty in the little things; as a playful designer, I look for moments of joy in everyday life. I believe a simple yet thoughtful design has the power to uplift and support well-being. After completing my Master’s in Product Development, I moved to Denmark to specialize in Play Design, and since then, I’ve been dedicated to designing with playfulness in mind.
