Hi, I'm Niki
Researcher.
Service Designer.
Workshop Lead.
About me
I'm a human centred design, facilitation and research practitioner.
I bring creativity, calm, clarity and bucket loads of people skills to the innovation process.

My work is never far from a social initiative. If you're interested in improving people's lives we'll probably get on!
How can I help?
  • Service design
    I collaborate with people to
    co-design, develop and improve systems, services, programmes and learning experiences.
  • Facilitation
    I train, coach and work alongside teams to help them learn design thinking, research methods and to engage with a diverse range of people.
  • Research
    I research and evaluate social innovation projects and practice, and share findings in accessible ways.
