I help people use creative techniques to understand & design solutions to unmet needs. In doing this, I've designed and managed research & design programmes for public services, think tanks and cultural cooperatives to better involve communities in the development of their activities. This has notably focused on:

Involving people from different disciplines to develop ideas to tackle local challenges, co-founding Visual Camp and the Kent Connects MBA Programme.

Supporting people to use research & design techniques to work with communities, co-founding Transformed by You and Creative Campaigns Camp

Working with young people to use creative approaches to develop creative activities & festivals, co-chairing the European Alternatives Cooperative and helping develop the Transeuropa Festival, All Doled Up and Making a Living

I'm particularly interested in what we can learn from how people across different countries, through the process of trying to cope with the crisis, imagine, enact and demand new ways of making a living.
