Description: I am a design advocate focusing on social innovation through design and user partiicpation methodologies. Currently a research fellow at the Helen Hamlyn Center at the Royal College of Art, London, UK, I completed her PhD in design (entitled ‘Design Participation Tactics’) at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University with Professor John Fraser in 2007. I have participated in action-research projects and case studies in Asia and the UK focused on developing tools for designers to design with people especially including those that are older or disabled. I lead student programs and judges design awards at the RCA, where I also initiated the Methods Lab. I am active in designing and curating exhibitions both internationally and in my own community-interest gallery in London. Recent works include ‘Constant Stream’, aimed at stimulating dialog between cultures as well as disciplines, and ‘Design Facilitation for Heartlands’ for Cornwall in 2008, idea baker for the British Council and developing a webtool for inclusive design, www.designingwithpeople.com.

Description: I am the Director of Operations at Cardus. I'm very interested in exploring and developing organizational practices based on adaptive leadership approaches.The theoretical roots of this approach can be found in complex systems theory applied to organizational design. I have taught a number of undergraduate courses in history, culture, theology, and science as well as seminars on writing, social media and the history of computing. My graduate work included a philosophy of language thesis on the theory of words and objects - an intriguing balance between adaptation and rule-driven process.
My past work includes corporate communications projects encompassing development of marketing collateral, presentations, magazine editing, writing, interviewing, political campaign development, web strategies and content development, creative team leadership and other capacity-building projects. I have also served a three-year term as an elected municipal official.
