Biography

I am the User Journey Lead for UnLtd, the foundation for social entrepreneurs, responsible for shaping the experience of, and offer of our support to people creating positive change through social business. I also run Liminal Labs, a service design consultancy that works on impact-focused projects looking to draw in user insight and use co-production to design with communities, not for them.

My Fellowship focused on systemic housing challenges and highlighting how collective impact models could achieve systems change for UK housing. My drive for social mobility and change comes from lived experience of homelessness and abuse, and I am a passionate advocate and facilitator of amplifying marginalised and suppressed voices and experiences to ensure that those who will be affected by change are the ones who design it.

I used my Fellowship to drive my own learning journey but I have also created opportunities for social entrepreneurs to collaborate and connect to tackle housing challenges, in addition to driving support for community owned and developed housing, and co-producing solutions to issues of loneliness, equity in green spaces and future cities.
