Human-Computer Interaction | Design | Digital Civics

I am passionate about bringing people together and dedicated my career to creating bridges between science, industry, third sector and public partners. With an interdisciplinary PhD in Human-Computer Interaction & Digital Civics research and as a consultant and educator on participatory approaches, UX, and Interaction Design, I shaped collaborative technology and innovation initiatives in the UK, Sweden and EU-wide.
I have over 8 years of experience in:
Project and stakeholder management: end-to-end delivery of 3 action research projects, coordinating multi-sectoral partners and creating stakeholder engagement strategies
Technology and innovation leadership: led the technology & innovation group in large EU network on participatory approaches in ageing research
Creative Facilitation and Design Thinking: advised senior leaders on the facilitation of inclusive, co-creative spaces
Research and Education: designed and led interdisciplinary research studies using qualitative, quantitative, and participatory research methods. I also taught HCI, UX and Interaction Design.
Communicating results: keynote speaker & author of reports, white papers, and scientific papers
Policy engagement – experienced in working at research-policy intersections through preparation of white papers and as board member on policy-facing initiatives
Sustainability strategy: I am curious about what it means to be human in a more-than-human world and bring this exploration into my strategic work (certified in ESG strategy).
As part of my work, I am a co-founder of award winning Later Life Audio and Radio Co-operative, recognised for research impact.
