About me
My mission is to reduce our impact in the biosphere, by raising the collective consciousness and exploring tech and design one project after the other. I am looking for a graduate scheme in a company that aligns with my values of sustainable innovation, and interest in the digitalisation and automation of services. I seek to involve myself in as much various projects as possible, with the purpose of continuously learning and encountering people. I best perform within a team, as I aim to learn from others and seek to influence those around me positively. My professional interests are design research, strategy, a lean and agile approach to project management, concept and value proposition and branding. I am motivated to better my public speaking skills and data analysis to foster collaboration and sustainability communication.
