Social Media Campaigns
Designed for the Global Youth Coalition social media strategies, as part of Avocado Framework and COP30 communication campaigns
The Avocado Framework is an implementation framework for climate action, connecting individuals, the private sector, grassroots organizations and goverments. The GYC founded the framework at COP28, facilitating roundtables with changemakers across the globe on how to channel international climate negotiation into an easier, more actionable format.
After 2 years of strategy, presentations and working groups research it was presented as part of the GYC COP30 strategy, which aim was to activate goverments and provate sector in the support of the framework.
In 2025, the GYC reached 1.5 million people, largely in part to our social media presence.
A collaborative housing project in Laas (BZ), Südtirol.
Throughout my years of nomading, there was a place I would always feel myself called back to: the north-east side of the Alps. The Vinschgau valley and the social transformation hub BASIS become a friendly and inspiring reference point.
By chance or by design, I met a woman who was looking for someone to take over her old house, a gas-free home staring at the Laas glacier.
Knowing I would have not been able to live there full time, I opened up the house to anyone who would like to feel more connected to nature and raw energy, allowing seasonal workers, people who can work remotely or simply those who want to enjoy the outddoor to stay on a shared resource contribuition model.
Staying at Thymian house can be a ritual for people experiencing the rural while being connected to local projects such as BASIS.

Change Design in Entertainment
E IDENTITÀ
A series of works exploring the topic of sustainability in the production of set design experiences, 2018- 2020
After I finished the BA in Theatre Design I started to work as a set and lighting designer while I continued to develop my studies around zero-waste shows, culture and industry.
I won a bursary to take part in La Wayaca Current residency in the comarca of Guna Yala (Panama) where together with Sally Somerville-Woodiwis we could live and learn in a remote Guna village. This led to the creation of a puppet and a series of interventions such as an immersive tent installation at festivals.
On the side, we worked into the theatre and film industry in London creating sets only through upcycled material. Some projects remained undone as Covid happened and I continued into my MA.
What about the streetlights?
E IDENTITÀ
Design for Technical Change project, guidelines for a future, January 2021
The project is the output of an ethnographic experiment on myself. How would my life be if I stopped consuming what came out of a burning porcess? No fossil fuels, no coffee beans to be roasted, no cooking with a flame.
The first week of the experiment I counted how much energy each action was consuming, while the second week I ived on a percentage of that energy equaled to the amount of renewable energy surces available on that day. The booklet is the documentation of that process together with tips about how to be energy resilient in a world where energy becomes a scarce resource in the Global North.
I live off the benefits of this experiment to this day, having changed my relationship with daylight, energy consumptiona and human cooperation in time of crisis.
At night I would read by the streetsights shining through the window.
Indigenous Peoples Justice Booklet
MA Dissertation project component, collaboration with Free West Papua Campaign, August 2021
The project started with a simple question, what tool can I create to serve the cause? Sam told me he needed a way to explain to the british public why it matters to support his people struggle, a story of mining, genocide and colonialism. We so created this easy to replicate booklet in collaboration with other campaigns.
The booklet was co-created and it was used during the campaign of COP26 in Glasgow, COY17 and COP27 in Sharm El Sheik. It is free to download and print.
