I guide my clients, as well as my family and friends, through processes of digital transformation by cultivating regenerative digital cultures and nurturing more mindful, intentional relationships with information and communication technologies.
My approach weaves together scientific understanding and spiritual insights, offering pathways rooted in the life wisdom and rhythms of natural systems.
Through community-based fieldwork, I collaborate with diverse cultures to co-create solutions grounded in our shared belief that a just and equitable future can only emerge through collective participation.
Ritual wisdom and ceremonial practices enrich my methodology, supporting organizations and individuals who are committed to deep, transformative change.
My journey
TLTR? Voicover avaliable at the bottom of this section ↡
IMG ALT TEXT: A group of people in an office throw their hands up in a high-five. Everyone looks certain they just saved the world. But they did not.
I began my career as a corporate strategist, designing digital transformation roadmaps for global brands. The path was linear, predictable, and undeniably comfortable.
IMG ALT TEXT: Murzyn stands on stage, hand raised mid-gesture, proclaiming that tools are revolution. The audience leans in, curious and hopeful at once.
Seeking greater autonomy, I founded my first venture: Radicalzz.Studio, a boutique consultancy dedicated to research, market analysis, sustainability, and experience design.
IMG ALT TEXT: Murzyn gestures from the stage, revealing how technology doesn’t just reshape music, it transforms what music means. Educators lean forward, seeing their industry through completely new eyes.
To extend the values behind that work into a wider community, I initiated Designing the Future, an event series exploring how emerging technologies reshape not only industries, but also our personal lives and collective values.
IMG ALT TEXT: Murzyn speaks from an international podium to educators about teaching technology in classrooms.
What started as intimate gatherings in my small office soon evolved into broader educational initiatives, including international lectures and mentoring programs.
IMG ALT TEXT: Cards for the Futuro game lie on a table. A tool to plan the future and imagine sustainable scenarios. It looks like hope in cardboard form.
To make this knowledge even more accessible, I created Futuro Cards, a card-based methodology designed to democratize foresight and sustainability planning.
IMG ALT TEXT: Murzyn explains the Futuro Cards to an older man, and suddenly they speak the same language. Two generations bridge the gap not through compromise, but through a shared tongue where technology becomes a bridge, not a wall.
Recognized by UNESCO MGIEP in India, The Next Web, El Pais, University of Western Australia, and African Leadership Academy in Johannesburg, this tool turns complex scenario design into an engaging, intuitive practice while encouraging responsible engagement with emerging technologies.
IMG ALT TEXT: Murzyn stands in the UNESCO office in Delhi after running a workshop. Pride radiates from her posture.
A pivotal moment came during a UNESCO engagement in India, where I was invited to lead an interactive workshop.
IMG ALT TEXT: A worker stands surrounded by piles of old monitors and electronics on a waste dump. Behind him, polluted settlement stretches into the haze. This is the price of our digital lives made visible.
During that stay, I visited an electronic waste dumpsite for the first time. This encounter altered the course of my work. Confronting the shadow side of technological progress, its human cost and ecological devastation I realized I could no longer strategize from a distance.
IMG ALT TEXT: Murzyn examines mountains of electronic waste in Europe, moving closer to understand the scale of it.
This awakening led me to found the Digital Ecology Institute an independent research hub collaborating with scientists to prototype sustainable IT solutions.
Yet over time, I recognized something essential: I had been addressing symptoms rather than root causes.
IMG ALT TEXT: Murzyn stands beneath Buddha’s statue. In that quiet moment, the answer arrives: the problem lives not in circuits, but in human minds. The suffering cannot be coded away, only understood from its roots.
My efforts focused on ecological impact: the consequences, rather than the deeper engines of technological development: human beliefs, mindsets, and habits.
IMG ALT TEXT: Murzyn works at a desk, pirate flag hanging behind. She chooses open source over corporate control, freedom over compliance.
Today, I work as a thought leader and systems thinker with a strategist’s clarity and a commitment to practical, grounded solutions.
IMG ALT TEXT: Murzyn smiles from an electronic waste dump, surrounded by broken screens. It’s the laughter of someone who finally sees the source of the wound and knows how to begin healing it.
I remain obsessed with solving problems, but not through extraction or acceleration. Instead, I explore approaches that view technology as a living organism nested within ecological, social, and relational systems.
I believe that rigorous science and lived, experiential knowing must walk side by side. Only when heart and mind meet, we can access the integration our world urgently needs.
IMG ALT TEXT: A man with dreadlocks in South Africa extracts circuit boards from old televisions and transforms them into jewelry. Beauty blooms from what we threw away, a quiet rebellion against waste.
This is why, alongside scientific inquiry, I am equally devoted to embodied knowledge practices and dialogue with Indigenous wisdom traditions and shamanic perspectives.

“MAAMA must go” educational lecture.
Have you ever wondered why, even though you want, you can’t peel your phone off your hand? Why does every purchase decision, every relationship, every act of creativity seem pre-programmed? This is not a coincidence. This is how the worst MAAMA in human history works – corporate cartel that systematically steals your autonomy, one scroll at a time. MAAMA is not an affectionate caregiver. It is an acronym for Meta, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft and Alphabet – five technology giants that have created the most sophisticated control system the world knows.
