Ksenia Benifand has spent her life and professional career navigating liminality - the transitory, in-between state, characterized by ambiguity, messiness, and hybridity. She has been exploring the "edges of change" to gain deeper insights into the drivers of socio-cultural, political, environmental and technological changes and developments. By exploring and experimenting with different narratives, lifestyles and practices, she has gained a unique perspective. Not afraid to test her ideas, she spent over a year living zero-waste and actively participating in and building the sharing economy as part of her research and solution design for transitioning consumer behaviours towards Circular Economy business models. She plays in various contexts to study how human needs, limitations, and capabilities adapt to new and unexplored environments while building community resilience.
