She is currently a researcher at SGR Design, health and wellbeing (EINA/UAB), coordinating the research line CURE&CARE DESIGN. CURE&CARE DESIGN includes everything we do to maintain, perpetuate and repair our world. It is a design that does not rely on the impersonal conventions of a system or logic to elucidate projects. Rather, it is based on the existence of a network of relationships and dependencies that include us, where the project is resolved through communication.

It is an international Erasmus + programme funded by the European Community in partnership with Universidade Aberta Portugal (UAb), European University Cyprus (EUC), LABA Valencia School of Art Design & New Media (LABA) and Documenta Creaciones Multimedia Avanzadas (MYD) Barcelona.
