Henrik Lübker, ph.d.

Curious by nature…
I work with strategic creativity, conceptual development and transformation, primarily in design, tech, and art.

I am driven by a desire to create spaces and opportunities for new perspectives and collaborations to emerge, helping us discover a deeper, more creative and caring world with room for all that is not merely ourselves.

I have had the privilege of leading numerous creative projects, processes, and partnerships. I am particularly interested in transformative projects, performative storytelling, and the intersections between technology, nature, art, design and people.
