Summary
I am an urban practitioner with over 10 years of experience in creating high-quality public spaces, addressing the environmental and social challenges faced by cities in Slovenia and abroad.
As Vice President of the non-profit urban design studio Prostorož, I manage local and international projects as a project manager, researcher, and citizen engagement specialist, with a focus on participatory planning, tactical urbanism, and mobility transformation. Currently, I am researching the impact of extreme weather events on urban environments and developing solutions to reduce climatic stress on both people and spaces. I am a proud member of the Slovenian Coalition for Sustainable Transport Policy (KTPP).
