Innovation Design & Knowledge Brokerage

With over 15 years of professional experience at national, regional, and international levels — spanning Albania, Europe, China, and the United States — I work as an innovation designer and knowledge broker for organizations navigating change.

As an innovation designer and consultant, I help organizations:

  • Transform business models and design better products and services
  • Develop human resources and build organizational capacity
  • Connect research to practice and translate findings into strategy
  • Design learning experiences and foster innovation culture
  • Co-create solutions with diverse teams and stakeholders

My approach combines:

  • Strategic foresight and creative problem-solving
  • Human-centered design principles
  • Applied research and evidence-based decision-making
  • Cross-sector collaboration and knowledge ecosystem thinking

I work with local and international entrepreneurs investing in Albania, providing consultancy in business transformation, innovation design, human resources development, and growth strategy.

My international experience includes a 6-month Research Fellowship at the University of Arizona Center for Innovation (UACI) in 2022, where I deepened my expertise in innovation ecosystems and knowledge-based development.
