Working with me


Service designer, Design researcher, Participatory designer and Systems thinker.

Based in NYC.

I help organizations untangle complex challenges and turn them into clear, human-centred experiences. Whether you need research to ground your strategy, a service blueprint to align your teams, or an end-to-end design partner, here is a picture of what I bring to the table.





What I do


 Service Design

End-to-end design of services from discovery through to implementation ready blueprints, experience maps and operating models.
Design Research 

Conducting interviews, focus groups and workshops. Synthesising raw qualitative and quantitative data into recommendations. 
Systems thinking

Mapping organizational processes, ecosystems, identifying leverage points for change. and building insight driven roadmaps. 
Participatory Design

Ideation, co-design and prioritization sessions that align stakeholders at every level around a shared vision.



How I work 

Follow the insight
I have an iterative mindset, incorporating feedback and new information at every stage of the design process. Helping to facilitate an understanding of a system and to clarify upstream/downstream impacts of change.
Transparent
My approach and way of working is inherantly participatory and collaborative. Bridging the gap between creative execution and business strategy, building trust and ensuring that every design choice drives measurable results
I’m the glue
I bring together experiences across technology, data, product and design,  establish a clear view of the entire offering. Bringing to light the connections, dependencies, and duplications that exist within the current service ecosystem





Service Design in Practice (methods) 


Qualitative research
In-depth interviews and focus groups that surface the lived experiences, motivations and tensions that data alone can't reveal. 

Affinity mapping and thematic analysis.  Organising large volumes of qualitative data into clusters that reveal patterns, contradictions and hidden opportunities.
Ideation workshops
Structured sessions that move teams from raw insight to opportunities, building a shared vision toward action.

Insight to opportunity framin. Translating findings into clearly articulated opportunity spaces that connect human needs to organizational goals.

Co-design 
Actively involving users and communities in shaping solutions, ensuring the people most affected have a genuine voice in the process.

Participatory design
Bringing users into synthesis and ideation, moving beyond observation to genuine co-creation of solutions.

Concept workshops
Translating research into testable concepts and pilot frameworks with measurement approaches ready for real-world validation.

Concept development and pilot building
Shaping concepts into testable pilots with defined measurement frameworks so impact can be tracked from day one.
 
Prioritization workshops
Cross-functional sessions that align stakeholders around a shared direction turning competing priorities into a unified vision.

Stakeholder alignment
Crafting the strategic narrative and facilitation conditions that bring diverse teams into agreement on direction and next steps.


Systems mapping & visualization
Translating complex, fragmented services into clear visual ecosystems that expose hidden bottlenecks, loops, and leverage points across your organization.

Visualizing the end-to-end ecosystem to untangle fragmented workflows, expose blind spots, and unite teams around a seamless journey.

 



Outcomes / Artifacts 


Ecosystem and Linear Maps

Creates an easy way to tell the story of the change we were aiming for and quickly orientates people to the decisions being made. The insights and recommendations uncovered in the research underpin the maps. 



















Service Blueprinting

Reveals the complexity of a service, connecting the front and back of house experience. Reveals how the various service actors interact and inform each other in the experience. 








Operating models, roadmaps and next step recommendations

Provides a visual overview of the timeline for defining, developing, delivering, and refining a service.














Vision Casting

Places the entire team in a shared vision of the future, helping us work together to set clear priorities for moving forward.
