• Strategic Advisor Communication in Sustainable Spatial Development

  • Aug 2012 - Jul 2018

  My background as an urban planner enables me to work both substantively and conceptually on sustainable development. But also to approach an issue by examining it integrally and from multiple disciplines (spatial/economic/social). Connecting link between parties, experience in new forms of cooperation, working methods and challenges & special affinity with sustainable development, social innovation and transitions. I explore, connect and inspire to generate innovative, sustainable and resilient approaches. This method of 'design' is ideal for participation processes and alliance formation. In this images are my most powerful weapons. I use them to search for solutions and to communicate. Clear, persuasive communication and participation are of prominent importance for ‘bottom-up development' & 'private initiative'. Show less
