I am a Design Researcher and Strategist. I co-create solutions for social impact.

I use human-centred design, sociology and communications to define complex problems, uncover insights, develop new knowledge and co-create holistic outcomes.

This is how I work

I always ask ‘WHY’

I arrive at an unbiased problem definition to build impactful and sustainable solutions.

I question inequity and power

I question my biases and acknowledge larger systems at play.

I create order out of chaos

I facilitate co-creation

I distill tensions, insights and opportunities via synthesis to offer robust recommendations.

I don't direct. I co-create with community partners and stakeholders closest to the challenge.

I use visualisation to tell stories

I listen and empathize
