Emma Baumhofer is a transdisciplinary designer, researcher, and advisor based in Lugano, Switzerland. Her practice moves between independent research and commissioned work, bringing together sound, interaction, fieldwork, archives, and material experimentation to create installations, tools, workshops, and other ways of engaging with complex questions.

Her career spans more than 15 years across creative, digital, and international contexts. She previously established and led the digital peacebuilding portfolio at swisspeace, launched digital platforms in Switzerland and the US, worked in mobile gaming, and advised international organizations, NGOs, and practitioners on research, strategy, participation, and public engagement. Trained in anthropology, history, English, and interaction design, she now works across research, facilitation, program development, and creative practice, often connecting disciplines that do not always intersect.
