About me

Intro

I help organizations design systems that center real people — especially when the challenge is complex, emotional, or hard to talk about. My work spans suicide prevention (CALM CARE Kit, UK), humanitarian innovation (Rohingya response, Bangladesh), and youth advocacy programs. Based in Marseille, available for freelance projects in English.
