Summary
Kit Braybrooke is a Senior Researcher and anthropologist-designer based in Berlin, with 12 years leading co-design, user research and curatorial projects at the intersection of culture, technology and sustainability. They direct Studio We & Us and co-lead transnational living lab practice through the Urban-Rural Assembly at TU Berlin, building participatory templates for sustainable urban-rural development across China and Germany. Kit’s work bridges hacker/maker cultures, commons-based peer production and multispecies ethics of care, and they’ve helped seed networks and events from the Open Design + Hardware Network to Mozilla Festival and Open Knowledge Festival. An editor and board member active in peer production and maker communities, they combine academic rigour (MSc UCL) with practical community organising and policy engagement. Less obvious is their knack for convening diverse consortia—policymakers, planners, researchers and local communities—into sustained co-design practices that move projects from prototype to public adoption.
