About

I am a service designer that has participated in the creation of innovative design solutions in public service, private consultancy, and academic research contexts, always applying design methods to preserve the creative drive of an idea. As a systemic thinker, I look for connections between disparate areas and create narratives that bring value and meaning to diverse projects.

Fresh Start

Cleaning as care

Fresh Start is a research and design initiative that aims to bridge the gap in holistic care between mental health and adult social care using a cleaning as care approach. We are in the process of collaborating with different institutions to create a non-medical, service based intervention that will support people on their mental health recovery journeys, focusing on the key pillars of reeducation + messaging, action + support, and community & care.

This video outlines the research and design process that has been developed for Fresh Start, inviting possible partners to participate in further development and prototyping of the intervention.
