Hi 👋 I’m Freddie, an anthropologist-designer, exploring multispecies worlds through ethnographic research, design, and technology. I am drawn to the knowledge people hold about their environments, the relations at the edges of dominant narratives, and the futures that exist in the present.

I received a Master's degree in Social and Cultural Anthropology (cum laude) from KU Leuven, postgraduate certificate in Speculative Design Futures from IADT Ireland, and training in Strategic Foresight and Design Leadership from Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies and Parsons School of Design.

Currently, I am a PhD researcher in Design Intelligences at IT:U, Austria. My focus is on how multispecies practices and relations can take place beyond language.

I founded PROONG studio a research-led design studio working on designing systems and futures. I also organise DesignDesign, a Berlin-based design community exploring future-friendly design practices.

I am always happy to talk, collaborate, or think together. Feel free to reach out!
