I specialise in revitalising underutilised public spaces through community-driven, creative placemaking. I help transform neglected urban areas into cherished neighbourhood spots, turning passers-by into connected communities.

I am passionate about exploring social and cultural phenomena in urban settings using ethnographic methods, participant observation, interviews, walk-alongs, visual ethnography, and experimental social research techniques.

In my first master's thesis, I delved into the spatial and aesthetic experiences of public spaces. I am particularly interested in the sensory, bodily, social, and cultural qualities that define our interactions with these spaces.

I am captivated by the complex layers of urban life, including the planning and development processes that shape cities over time. Studying the diverse actors and communities involved helps uncover the dynamics that drive urban existence.

As an engaged observer and participant, I actively contribute to urban activism, reclaiming public spaces for communal and natural uses. My work is dedicated to fostering inclusivity for vulnerable groups within urban environments.

My interest in Eastern Europe and post-socialist cities is both personal and academic. Extensive travels and networks in the region form the foundation of my projects in post-socialist urban studies.
