About 





I am many things, but above all, I am a human with deep curiosity and empathy for other humans. I care about people and enjoy researching, ideating and desiging  accessible, user-friendly, and sustainable solutions, products and services that improve the lives of those who use them and create meaningful social impact.

 With a B.A. in International Law, African History, and Gender Studies, and an MSc in Global Health Research, my research praxis is guided by an ethos of equity and accessibility, grounded in participatory methodologies and, human-centered design approaches.

I have experience collaborating, co-creating and designing research agendas, ideating solutions and prototyping service and product designs with a wide array of stakeholders, including governments, NGO’s and private sector, as well as working with vulnerable and hard-to reach populations across Zambia, Mozambique and Ethiopia.

 Originally from Senegal and the U.S.,  I am currently based between Amsterdam and Dakar.
