    what if

    hi you,

    curious about the future? you are in the right place

               still curious? then let’s talk

      homo narrans

      humans tell stories; all their lives
      if we take a closer look
      we tell a variety of stories about ‘who we are’
      to give and make sense
      a lifetime long

      stories about myself

      grown-up with an inventive spirit, my world is sprinkeled with ideas and adventures
      my curious self engaged a few years in the corporate worlds of music, fashion and food
      before it flourished in Copenhagen’s start-up and sustainability scene
      Kenya presented the wonders of purposeful tech
      while my Australian professors opened the door to futures thinking

      sometimes I am a practitioner of futures literacy
      other times I am a perceptively facilitator lead by the joy of collective action
      always I am a storyteller, enthusiastic about the absurd and magical
      [but then who isn’t…]

      The mysterious thing we call ‘future’ is something that strangely never exists; solely in our imagination. Still, the future can serve us as a tool.
      As a consultant and facilitator, I use the future as a guiding tool for organizations to navigate novel explorations and make sense of disruptive changes.
