Public Legal Design
Rojda Tosun is a fully qualified lawyer working at the intersection of law, design, and governance innovation. As the founder of PublicLegalDesign, she pioneers systemic approaches to make public institutions more accessible, adaptive, and participatory. Her work bridges legal expertise with design methodologies to strengthen the state’s capacity for transformation and inclusion.
Rojda collaborates with federal ministries, the Federal Chancellery, and the Office of the Federal President on initiatives for modern lawmaking and state reform. Internationally, she works with partners such as the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) to advance decolonial and regenerative approaches to governance and access to justice.
She leads the LawLab for Sustainability Transformation at Leuphana University Lüneburg, where she develops design-based legal education for the next generation of policymakers. Drawing on her legal education from Freie Universität Berlin and the Higher Regional Court of Berlin (Kammergericht), she brings together legal, social, and design perspectives to create new pathways for democratic and institutional renewal.
