5. Systemic Problem Solving & Innovation
I’m a proven problem solver who thrives on improving workflows through design strategy—directing opportunity from chaos
When Argentina restricted 50% of imports, I spearheaded a pivot to 100% locally produced apparel range: the 3SL ThreeStripeLife collection. Bridging communication between German HQ and local teams, we met regional demands while increasing profit margins by 30% despite production constraints.

6. Cultural Codex and Beyond
I don't 'localize' stories—I redesign them from within
Mediated between developers, designers and artists to embed cultural narratives into a 175-unit housing project. By co-designing murals and community spaces, we proved neighborhood identity can be built on schedule and budget.
