I am a life-long learner. From a early background in computer systems, which gave me a whole-systems lens through which to approach the rest of my life, I've been an educator, author, artist, Transition movement trainer/contributor (since 2008), Permaculture instructor/designer, group facilitator, complementary currency designer, researcher, parent, grandparent. I love seeing through multiple lenses and points-of-view. I guess you could say I am a Whole-Systems, Biomimicry, "DANCING ON MY LEARNING EDGES" explorer ... contributing, connecting, and loving, with joy.

Steps that led me to become a circular economy ambassador include twelve years of figure skating, fifteen years drumming in a noise rock band, ten years of journalism, some marketing management and right now economic development work since 2018. Multi-dimensionally educated would describe me best. I am willing and able to transform my home area and city into a prospering region, ready for the 21st century. I do this with the help of the many talented people of Chemnitz. Want to join us here in the European Capital of Culture 2025?!

I’m fascinated by systemic structures of inequity, by human psychology and its relationship with power, and by how we are designing futures, subconsciously or overtly, every day, particularly in the realm of technology and AI development. I'm a former strategy consultant, an Acumen Global Fellow and a current Master of Applied Cybernetics student at Australian National University 3A Institute

Berlin, Deutschland

My work is all about Energy Literacy and sense-making. I graduated from a Masters Programme for Media and Arts. As a producer and independent consultant I have been working for 25+ years mostly with creative businesses, international corporations and non-profits on projects focussing on whole systems change. I am trained in organisational development, large group facilitation and cross-cultural communications. My passion is shifting mental maps and assumptions that make up our daily routines and collective practices by utilising state of the art sense-making methods.
