New knowledge work starts now.

I am building a venture for a new era — right where technology meets culture, research and real communication.

From discourse to prototype

What I do

Impact and relevance

Rethinking evaluation

Impact needs visibility, not just reports. I combine rapid data processing with digital-analogue workshops and live dashboards. From scenario development to social impact and data storytelling.

Strategic design

Concepts for change

I combine data-driven analysis with the imagination for entirely new services. Vibrant strategies for cultural administrations, funding institutions and international cooperation.

Technology and experimentation

Gaining digital sovereignty

AI in the cultural sector and humanities is not self-sustaining — it is a design challenge. I experiment at the intersection of cybernetics and poetics.

Cultural policy connects — inward and outward.

My work operates at the intersection of domestic and international cultural policy. What works in municipalities and regions has relevance for international cultural relations — and vice versa. I bring experience from collaborating with international research centres, UN processes and UNESCO networks, combining it with evidence-based advisory work on the ground.

Where new knowledge work takes shape.

AI is changing everything — including our own practice. That is why we are launching a pilot phase for an AI Lab at the Cultural Policy Lab: a space for peer learning among equals, open to everyone eager to reinvent knowledge work. No bureaucratic apparatus, no false promises — just creative learning for real agency.

The future is made when we start talking about it.
