I've always been curious about people, emerging ideas and the forces shaping the future.

With a master's degree in Design Management and more than 20 years of experience in the textile, fashion and retail industries, I've worked across trend forecasting, creative direction, marketing, product management and innovation.

Today, I combine my professional background with university teaching, sharing my experience in coolhunting, creativity, innovation and futures thinking.

I enjoy creating learning experiences that bring theory into the real world, encourage curiosity and challenge conventional ways of thinking.

Beyond my professional work, I've spent more than 15 years exploring wellbeing and personal development, and I'm also a certified professional coach. This has enriched my perspective on creativity and the importance of self-awareness.

Through Coolnest, I bring together my experience, curiosity and passion for learning to inspire new perspectives and explore what comes next.
