Design Lead at Nesta, the UK's innovation foundation for social good. I currently lead strategic design for household decarbonisation.
Complex problems need a mix of skills. I make frameworks and tools, like policy blueprinting, that teams can pick up and use to create change.
The people a decision affects should shape it early. I give teams direct routes to users and stakeholders instead of routing everything through a designer.
A rough prototype this week beats a perfect plan. I set the guardrails and use no-code tools so teams can put ideas in front of real people in days.
A method that applies service design to complex policy. A policy blueprint maps the actors, steps and interactions needed to deliver a policy, so the people who write policy and the people who deliver it design it together.
It underpins Nesta's work on coordinated, street-by-street heat pump switching, and is available as an open template for other teams.
A test, learn and grow portfolio that helps whole areas switch to clean heat together. I lead work across the system with councils, installers, network operators and residents to create systemic change.
We test ideas in real places, build a network of partners, and develop GB-wide tools, guidance and policy asks.
A nationwide campaign that helps households save money and cut carbon emissions.
A toolkit for advice agencies sits alongside the self-serve tool, which features in the UK Government's Help for Households advice.
A new direction for the German TV and audio maker: a reorientated brand and product range, and a new digital ecosystem. The work won multiple iF Design Awards.
