DESIGN CONSULTING AND STRATEGY
Design is a kind of thinking and a set of tools and approaches that can be broadly applied to investigate, reflect and intervene.
I combine a background in design, training and research to provide a range of design consulting services including:
- design research programs and community engagement strategies
- design-orientated workshops
- strategic consulting on design projects
- communication, brand and scoping workshops
- training, consulting and mentoring on design process and design research methods (drawing on participatory design, user experience, interaction design, human computer interaction and agile techniques)
My approach to design is grounded in the philosophy of participatory design and workshops and training sessions are visual, energetic, proactive and participatory.
