About
design sociologist and speculative design aficionado. I tell stories of alternative nows. Love coffee and good music.
I strongly believe we can shape the future. With my own
studio hyperspace, I explore alternative futures of an accelerating world. As lead and ambassador of speculative design at
Speculative Futures Amsterdam, I translate my findings into useful ways of challenging the current status quo.
Ambassador Speculative Design at the Maastricht Institute of Arts and lecturer at iArts.
I share my love of pop and media culture on the blog
STASIS.
