With interest in heterogeneous, socio-technical realities of the urban everyday, I am a doctoral researcher and lecturer at IPS. My PhD project explores practices, technologies, and infrastructures of private storage (water and electricity) in Nairobi, Kenya. I am also a member of the “Urban waterscapes and the pandemic” research project and an associated member of the integrated research training group at the DFG-funded collaborative research center “Re-Figuration of Spaces” (CRC 1265).
Before joining IPS, I worked for Goethe-Institut Kenya, HafenCity Hamburg GmbH, Samuel Hall, and others in research, design, cultural events, public relations, and editing. As an employee and freelancer, I have collaborated with international and local organizations (UNICEF, Africa Collect Textiles, etc.) in countries such as Kenya, Nigeria, Zambia, and Tanzania.
