    Anti-racism and inclusion expert

    Embedding anti-racism and inclusion effectively

    I am an anti-racism and inclusion expert with over 12 years of experience across the charity, social enterprise, and impact investment sectors.

    Human centred design

    Designing accessible, user-focused solutions

    I specialise in human-centred design, creating support services and digital learning products that meet the needs of people and communities who are marginalised.

     

    I've had the opportunity to work with a diverse range of clients, from healthcare charities like Mind and Macmillan to impact investment organisations such as UnLtd, Big Issue Invest, and the Camden Community Growth Fund. My focus is on designing accessible, user-focused solutions that foster inclusion and create meaningful user experiences.

    Lived experience research

    Improving engagement and understanding of lived experiences

    My expertise also extends to lived experience research, where I help organisations centre the voices of those who have experienced marginalisation.

     

    By incorporating these perspectives into strategy and practice, I ensure that inclusion and anti-racism are deeply embedded in their work. I believe that understanding lived experiences, alongside expert and professional knowledge, is crucial for creating equitable systems and driving true change.
