* minimise waste, grow, and make them more compassionate, sustainable, and just
Most recently Co-founder and Head of Design at Carbon Plus Ventures & ex-Chair of The Open Food Network. I use 20 years of design, technology, and product experience to enable socially responsible early-stage startups and fast-growing scale-ups minimise waste, grow responsibly, and make a positive difference. I am deeply values-driven and work exclusively in climate adaptation (food, biodiversity, waste), health, digital & human rights, and education.
With over 20 years experience, I come with a deep and broad more-than-human-centred design toolkit that can solve many problems. I'm particularly experienced in helping:
A 20+ year collection of design artefacts
Australian Red Cross
Covidence
World Mosquito Project
Bonigi Monitoring
Chargefox
NSW Dept. of Primary Industries
Department of Climate Change, Energy, Environment, and Water
Cogent
GoodHuman
WWF
Design can mean different things to different people. Over the course of 20 years I've been privileged enough to develop a diverse generalist skillset that's useful for many things. Services and skills I provide include:
I have lived and worked my whole life on Gadigal (Sydney) and Wurundjeri (Melbourne) land, in Australia. I acknowledge the traditional custodians of the land on which I do my work and I pay my respects to elders past & present. I acknowledge the sorrow of the stolen generations and the impacts of colonisation on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. I support the Uluru Statement of the Heart and I also recognise the resilience, strength and pride of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. Through my work, I aim to help as much as I can to empower and help them thrive.
