“People”

I’m interested in the places where the human world meets the natural world, and what we can do creatively to improve relationships between the two.  My work has focussed on designing social networks to make urban green spaces more accessible to our ‘oldest old’; the potential of transforming design education with whole systems thinking; and the usefulness of participatory design to develop strategies and networks to support community groups in the greater management of urban parks.  I have learned that design thinking has much to offer the transition to a more sustainable and people centred future and I want to be a part of that.
