With a master of architecture from Lund University and the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, I have also completed degrees in furniture design, fashion, design theory and classical music. That breadth wasn't restlessness, it was the beginning of a method. I've long believed that the most honest thinking happens in the spaces between disciplines.

At the core of everything I do is a question I keep returning to: what would change if we took care seriously, not as a soft supplement to economic thinking, but as its actual foundation? My book Mothering Economy is one attempt to answer that. Through systemic thinking and personal honesty, it examines the metacrisis we are living through — patriarchy, ecological collapse, the logic of extraction — and argues for something different; generous, collaborative, tending. It sits alongside earlier books including Oh, What a Way to Die!, Abody Abode, and the co-created urban anthology REopening of a City, as well as the ongoing Horizon Manifesto series.

This thinking also takes shape through art and installations. Economic Spaces, made in collaboration with Dark Matter Labs, used sculptural form to make the architecture of our economic system visible and open to questioning. The Women Council is a digital art project for the collective rethinking of power and feminist economies. And ANON — a public meeting space I created in central Malmö — was awarded Design S by Svensk Form, Sweden's largest design award, for bringing conversations about economic futures out of academic papers and private conference rooms and into shared public life.

I lecture and teach internationally, and have worked with institutions including the Danish Design Center as well as festivals, universities and organisations navigating systemic change. I offer consultation to those ready to think differently — about economy, about care, about how the systems we inhabit are designed and how they might be redesigned.

That last part is, in the end, what all of this is about. The structures we live inside are not inevitable. They were built. And what was built can be rebuilt.
