PRODUCT DESIGN

As a product designer, my work provides ways for people to make small differences.

Moving from concept to a consumer product and consultancy

Free2Work was an index and app that connected shoppers to ethically-made products and provided brands with a roadmap for change. I built and directed its research, publication and consulting functions, and I later revamped its app design. Under my leadership, the platform consulted Fortune 500 brands and received significant press. It has since spun off to become Know the Chain, an influential platform in the corporate responsibility world.  

Providing documentary viewers ways to make social change

Through Muuvment, users can watch documentaries to learn about sustainability issues. They can then partner with non-profits to create impact. Together with another designer, I was Muuvment's founding UX Designer & Researcher and was responsible for its product design.

Using climate change research to help communities adapt

Conservation International works to protect the environment for future generations. As a Junior Researcher, I provided the organization with research that helped it plan and fund climate change adaptation projects in Southeast Asia and Africa. 

Bringing environmentally friendly clothing to retail

In 2015, Skymore Ventures and a former Managing Director of Urban Outfitters Europe formed a partnership to start a large-scale socially conscious retail company. As a consultant, I equipped the start up with detailed market research and a product sustainability vetting system.
