I do design & innovation strategy
... and can deliver it.
As a straight talker with diverse experience in almost every industry and hard lessons learnt, I help changemakers see success. This is done through the development of innovation stratgies and workshops through to concept design and implementation.
What I do
STRATEGY
Stakeholder focused and customer-inspired, I bring the outside in.
As an extension of your team, we gather insights based on the opportunity and structure a strategy to suit the vision. There is no boiler-plate work here. It’s a full ground-up approach to implementing innovation and design within the business.
INNOVATION
Breakthrough and refreshing, together we can tackle NPD and craft a de-risked pipeline.
Holding nothing back, together we deep dive into the opportunity you’ve identified, bringing in other subject matter experts to conceptualise and validate directions.
WORKSHOPS
Effective and fun the workshops we carry out together result in key actions.
With a rich history in building workshops from sprints to training, we can take your opportunities or creative blocks and quickly build a structured output that enables you and your team to progress.
DESIGN
Bridging the imagination gap to functional and customer ready outcomes.
With a background in industrial design, service design, graphic and web design, I can jump in on a project or lead it for you with other experts to deliver pretty awesome products and services.
Experience
My background is diverse. A client once summed it up as I having worked at the bottom of the ocean to space. In both the glamourous world of spirits to the arse end of a sheep.
However, what does that mean for you? Well, because of my hands on nature, I can join the dots and unstick challenges for those who are focussed on the day-to-day bringing hard earned lessons with me.
How to work with me
power hour
Unsure about where to go next? Book an hour of consultation to go through your project and get advise.
learn
Introduce your team to a new set of skills. In this tailored workshop, we’ll get your group to understand and demonstrate empathy and lateral thinking.
solve
Over the course of 2 months, we will carry out an Innovation Sprint whereby additional independant research will be carried out before a 1-day workshop with your team and valid ideas are presented back.
pioneer
An opportunity is bigger than a one-off workshop. Together we will break down the opportunity into a series of workshops and activities that explore various directions and provide validation before moving forward with one or many.
