Hi, I'm Greta, an expat science nerd fascinated by adult friendship.
I've lived in seven cities across four countries, often in expat environments where there's a constant revolving door of people. Living abroad has taught me that adult friendships can be beautiful, surprising, and sometimes really hard to maintain, especially across distance.
My background is in science. I studied biomedical sciences at Oxford and science communication at Imperial College London, and I've spent the last decade helping translate research at the New Scientist, the Francis Crick Institute, OIST, the World Economic Forum, and now GESDA.
Friendship by Design is where I bring that same lens to the relationships most of us never get formal training in, using small habits, reflection, and insights from research to bring more intention into the connections that matter most.
