The work is grounded in design thinking, using participatory and co-design methods — moving between exploration and structure in dialogue with the people involved.

It draws on the Double Diamond as a flexible frame: opening up situations, making sense of them, and shaping responses that can hold in practice.

The focus is not only on solutions, but on the conditions around them — organisational, cultural, and human.

Background spans digital culture, design, and research — including an MA in Digital Culture focused on the social shaping of technology and its role in everyday life.

Earlier work includes building an augmented reality ed-tech company and leading creative direction across film, games, and digital media — shaping a long-standing interest in how technology is experienced, not just implemented.
