I call myself a service designer and a researcher because I design complex services, processes, and systems — and research is an important part of that work, both in discovery and in evaluating impact.

 

Where I work now, service design is a loose but loaded term. It covers changing the ways of working in the organisation, finding ways to create savings, and improving life outcomes for the people we design for — sometimes all at once. I currently lead said function, helping the organisation make sense of complexity and decide what’s genuinely worth building.

Behavioural science, experimentation, and digital transformation all show up in my work, but always in service of practical decisions rather than theory. I enjoy my practice, partly because I can see the impact of what I design, and partly because the structure and rigour it brings to complex problem spaces is deeply satisfying.

 

Outside of work I enjoy making things with my hands, going for hikes and growing my own food. My latest pet project is learning how to lacto-ferment!
