Landscape Architect

Since joining OCULUS as a student, Keren has been involved in projects from masterplanning and concept design through to documentation and construction. She brings strong and thoughtful verbal and graphic communication skills to projects.

Keren has a wide range of interests where she critically questions the status quo through the lenses of intersectionality and decolonization using both research and design. Keren is passionate about the empowerment, recognition, and celebration of African designers and practitioners. She is a strong believer in the power of communities and their ability to create brighter urban futures.
