My goal is to make sense of complex problems and people’s emerging needs. Through brand-led strategies, I bring cultural and social relevance into business and organisations with solutions adapted to a world in deep transformation. HyperSense is the consulting branch of Sense of Place Branding and Design which is dedicated to Places and Heritage brands.
