As a Human-Centered Design Researcher, I lead innovative research projects focused on improving urban experiences for women and LGBTIQ+ individuals. Currently, I am working on the Nomad Movements and Digital Impacts in Cities (NOMADIC) Project, part of the Horizon Europe – €78.5M EU Research & Innovation Program (2025-2028).

From 2023-2024, I directed a mixed-method study in Dublin, collaborating with over 300 participants to design and test Shaping HerCity, a platform bridging digital and physical spaces to promote safety and mutual support in urban environments. My work integrates ethnography, surveys, interviews, and data analysis from 50,000+ social network users. Additionally, I explored game design methodologies in Santa Fe, Argentina, to visualize spatial experiences.
