With the aim to take the spatial poetry of theatre out of the building and have its benefits spread into the street, Thyrza Coenraad (1997) uses theatre techniques as a methodology to design for grounded social change.

With a BA in Interior Design (2020) and a MA in Social Design from Design Academy Eindhoven (2022), Thyrza is equipped to design with an unorthodox workflow on a wide range of projects. From scenography to the redesign of workwear of public cleaners, from storytelling coaching to artistic research.

In 2021 the designer became affiliated with puntCO. A company aimed to design for social change, with two feet on the ground. Starting initiatives within small communities ready for the ripple effect.
