Exploring how people navigate cities and systems when they fall outside the “average user” assumption, through the lens of Young-Onset Parkinson’s.
I am an innovation strategist, lived experience advocate, and founder of the Living Futures Lab, a real lived experience advocacy initiative for inclusive cities and resilient communities. For nearly a decade, I have lived with Young-Onset Parkinson’s Disease, which has reshaped how I move through urban spaces, interact with mobility systems, and experience public infrastructure. This lived experience gives me a unique perspective on fluctuating ability, accessibility gaps, and hidden barriers that are often overlooked in urban design.
Alongside this, I bring a strong professional background in urban innovation, ecosystem building, and inclusive place-making. I have worked across green and social infrastructure projects, sustainable urban food systems, startup ecosystems, and cross-sector collaborations, always with the aim of connecting systemic innovation to real human needs.
I am seeking to join a consortium that values authentic user perspectives and wants to ground research and innovation in lived experience—whether in mobility (15mC TP) or green/social infrastructure (CUE TP).
