About

Design Thinking:

Communication Design and all of its designers have the ability, intelligence and mindset to make the greatest impact to social challenges. With an enthusiasm for creative intelligence, education and research-led design, this website is heavily influenced by the growing recognition for ethically responsible and socially responsive design, and aims to integrate predictions of our future societies, with design research and observational comment. In conversation with the future of Communication Design, I hope to share my research in an accessible and thought-provoking method, with a critical [yet ever optimistic!] outlook.
