Since 2020, I’ve been a Research Associate at the Technical University of Munich, working across the Chair of Urban Structure & Transport Planning and the Professorship of Urban Design. My research explores how street experiments can transform mobility and public space - a topic I’m also pursuing in my PhD: “From research to practice: A methodological framework to plan, implement and assess street experiments, with the Steinhuber Miniblock case study in Munich”. In 2021, I co-founded SET – Street Experiments for Transitions, a platform that helps cities, organizations and communities reimagine streets through guidelines, workshops, implementation and evaluation →www.streetexperiments.com I hold a Bachelor’s in Architecture (Tec de Monterrey) and a Master’s in Graphic Design (University of the Arts London). By combining these two fields, I explored how temporary graphic interventions, such as duct tape installation could reactivate underused public spaces →https://tapeitpublic.wixsite.com/publictape. These work sparked my passion for city planning and urban transformation, which is what I do today. Do you dare to change your street?
