My background is in management of creative industries (Bocconi and Copenhagen Business School) and philosophy of aesthetics (Kingston University). I have a PhD in design and innovation management (CBS).
In my research, I draw from Science and Technology Studies (STS) and continental philosophy, and I combine studies of design management, innovation, and slow movements with organisation studies. I explore how design and innovation processes emerge, how values are created, and the role of the human and non-human actors in innovation, design, and craft processes, and how these actors mobilise organisational politics and aesthetics.
Designing in the Anthropocene, ethical sustainability, slow design-driven innovation, and the aesthetics of craft are at the core of my investigations. Before joining CBS, I have had research grants (from the British Council, British Academy, Economic and Social Research Council, and Arts and Humanities Research Council) to understand how social innovation can create social improvements to enable the transformation (or establishment) of the creative ecosystem, or to further create wider collective creative engagement and development and to promote cultural heritage.
I am currently researching how craft, slow-design practices and creative enterprises support rural areas, engage with marginalised communities, and create alternative approach to contrast climate change.
