Current projects
I’m working with Disrupt Foundation and its regional partners helping to make sure that the Kompasi digital platform delivers solid, sustainable benefits to the partners and the refugees, people seeking asylum and migrants that they support.
Blogs and Resource Articles
A lot of my work relates to using digital tools - this is a selection of articles that folk might find interesting or helpful- Safeguarding and safety for user researchers.
- Keeping user research ethical - actions and reflections
- Running online forums safely - shared learning
- Getting meaningful insights from group activities
- Sharing information, advice and guidance online - things to consider
Creative hobbies
I start (and never finish) 100 day projects - from doodles, to photography, to 42 word stories. You can find them most easily on my instagram.
Skills for my supper - volunteering
In 2023 I headed out on walking and volunteering projects. In these projects I pick a bit of the UK and travel around using my feet and rural buses. I trade my skills for food and a place to stay. I visited Coventry, Birmingham, Warwickshire, Worcestershire, Shropshire, the Forest of Dean, Devon and Cornwall. I did email marketing, kitchen cleaning, lots of weeding, scything, painting, apple picking and loads of other things I'd never done before, often involving power tools! Expect to see announcements for similar projects popping up from time to time
I often take part in creative challenges of different sorts - you can find them on my instagram.
