I am a design researcher with more than ten years of experience in Design Research, co-design, Design for Inclusion, and Design for Social Innovation within national and international networks, public and private organisations, and informal communities. I deal with Research Through Design in the field of Social Innovation by applying design disciplines such as Service Design, Strategic Design, and Systemic Design through the perspective of Design for Inclusion and the application of co-design. My research interests are in the studies of new paradigms oriented towards the Design for an Inclusive Attitude, the experimentation of Research Through Co-Design, and the innovation of services and policies through the design culture.
