I am a sustainability professional with ample experience in managing sustainable development projects and a high-level trained researcher (PhD) in design for sustainability.
I enjoy supporting organizations in developing innovative interventions to improve the livelihoods of different groups while caring for their environment. I have worked with non-profit organizations, local governments and academic institutions in Colombia, Norway and Sweden. Below you can find links to my experience as project manager, facilitator, educator and researcher. |
ManagementIf your organization is looking for a program or project manager, I can bring 6+ years of progressively resposible experience as program and project manager for non-governmental organizations. I am comfortable planning, executing, monitoring and systematizing experiences. I enjoy working in transdisciplinary and multicultural teams. I am results and problem-solving oriented. I enjoy engaging in challenging projects that aim at bringing change to the world and improve people's lives.
TrainingGiven my background, I also help organizations to implement workshops and activities that deliver relevant results within limited time. I apply design methods and tools to move throughout different co-creation stages: a divergent, exploratory moment for gathering insights, to a conceptualization stage when insights form ideas and converge to prototypes that give way to a new cycle. Such approach can be applied in different scenarios including product and service development, project formulation and policy making.

FacilitationI believe in the power of transformative education. I can help your organization better understand concepts linked to sustainability, such as the circular economy, climate finance, biodiversity conservation. I am a researcher in the field of design for sustainability, so I am happy to help teams use design methods and tools to develop solutions to address different challenges. My approach to training is based on the Head, Heart, Hands framework for Transformative Learning developed by Julie Singleton. I want organizations to move away from only sharing information to engaging their collaborators in their innovative endevours. I develop tailored short training programs that fit the needs of every client.
ResearchMy inner researcher is always looking for opportunities to learn more and unlock new knowledge. I have experience conducting user-centred research which is applicable and relevant in every setting as all organizations have to deal with people. I have strong skills for designing and implementing qualitative research, preferably inter and transdisciplinary. I am an independent trained researcher in the fields of environment, development, industrial ecology, circular economy and sustainable consumption.
