I am a communication designer, strategist and UX/UI designer who cares deeply about collaboration and wisdom-sharing. I use participatory design approaches in my work, creating alongside communities to build visual identities and digital solutions that are connected and meaningful. 

I have over 13 years experience designing within and alongside a broad spectrum of organisations; corporates, social enterprises, charities, government. Social Innovation and social change are where I can contribute most, having a long-term working relationship with the Innovation Unit. I am also the Design Lead at For Purpose.

Themes in my work and personal interests are identity, power and representation.

My practice has been shaped by:
Visual communication design: Massey University (BDes)
Co-design approaches: Emma Blomkamp
Systems thinking: dr seanna davidson The Systems School
