My Work
All my work is centred on inclusivity and decoloniality
I offer a range of tailored services, including:
Developing systems change and organisational strategies
Strategy design processes using participatory and inclusive methods; systems mapping and visioning; creating scale pathways for innovations and networks; embedding decolonial and locally-led approaches
Design work (user-centred, participatory)
Designing and delivering services, products, initiatives and programmes that tackle root causes through holistic systems change – identifying leverage points, centring equity, embedding sustainability, and enabling lasting impact
Capacity strengthening and training
Tailored learning journeys and training on systems thinking, innovation methods, innovation analysis, scaling strategies that strengthen organisational capacity.
Support to embed systems thinking, innovation and decolonial approaches.
Facilitation
Skilled facilitation of workshops, co-creation sessions, and communities of practice (online and in-person)
Who I work With
I collaborate with organisations and teams who want to work differently – to address root causes, not symptoms; navigate and transform the systems they work in. My clients include:
- Public services (health, justice, housing, social care) seeking to work more collaboratively
- Local systems and partnerships building cross-sector alignment
- Charities, networks, and humanitarian organisations navigating complex change
- Funders and intermediaries supporting locally-led work and innovation
