A good idea. A clear way forward.

A short introduction to how I help turn ambitious ideas into projects and narratives people can act on.

When a good idea is still hard to make real

Complex ideas often sit between disciplines: strategy, technology, ethics, research, design and communication. I help bring those pieces together so an idea can become a clearer, more credible project, venture or narrative.

What I can work with you on

01

Strategy & Project Development

I help frame ambitious ideas, clarify direction and shape them into projects, ventures or initiatives that can move forward.

02

Ethics, AI & Innovation

I bring a bioethics and human-centered perspective to technology, AI, innovation and the decisions surrounding them.

03

Science Communication & Storytelling

I help translate complex research and emerging technologies into clear narratives, films, experiences and public engagement.

Research depth, practical execution

My work combines a PhD background in biomedical ethics with hands-on experience in innovation, project development and communication. I co-founded Conexkt in 2017, remain an affiliate researcher at the University of Zurich, produced Seizing Hope and co-led the award-winning Swiss Edelweiss Village preservation effort.

I co-founded Conexkt in 2017 and work across strategy, innovation, design, AI, science communication and project development.
