"Human-Centered Design is most relevant when designing in resource-constrained circumstances. An Asset-Based Approach can help to be both human-centered and crisis-conscious in ICT design."
I am passionate about digital development and the implications of technologies in enhancing the lives of crisis-affected populations.
A designer by training and a humanist at heart, I am an expert in human-centered design and research. My research is driven by a system-design perspective, whereby I account for different stakeholders, geopolitical and social circumstances, policies, and communities of practice when strategizing digital design solutions.
I pursue technologies for social impact and help humanitarian and development organizations understand the nuances of technology deployment in different geopolitical and economic situations.
