   Yasmine Abbas is a French DPLG architect, holds a Master of Science in Architecture Studies (SMArchS 2001) from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a Doctor of Design (DDes 2006) from Harvard University Graduate School of Design.
   
   In 1995, while pursuing an internship at the UNESCO, United Nations, Education, Science and Culture Organization, she realizes the importance of education and technology for a culture of peace. Since, the notions of cultural encounters and mobilities have driven her designs and critical inquiries. She aims to advance the social and cultural by integrating technology with design. At MIT, her interactions with the Design Inquiry and Intelligent Kinetic System groups lead her to research the figure of "supermodernity", the neo-nomad. At Harvard she focused on how neo-nomads, digitally geared people on the move, reclaim a sense of belonging to places in the age of multiple mobilities and digital technologies. In 2005 she founds neo-nomad, a digital platform dedicated to design and mobility in the digital world. At Wentworth Institute of technology, she taught the spring 2007 seminar: Digital + Mobilities which led to the investigation of the freedom trail through codes: DiMo project. She is currently working as a senior consultant at ReD! She does that too: research and problem solving to design environments, products and services that work for people and drive business results!

   This multi-dimensional approach describes very well why Rudy, Yasmine and I have decided to join forces at m-trends.
   ...
   Rudy and Yasmine have in the past blogged on the same topics but from a different angle and a different view.
   ...
   To create a broader view and opinion, I invited Yasmine Abbas and Martin Sauter, two personalities I highly respect for their opinion and work, to join me and write regularly at m-trends.org on subjects that are in the air, things we have in common or like to discuss and write about, to start conversations on topics, each from his own perspective and experience.
