I am a design and innovation specialist working as part of Innovate UK Business Connect’s Design in Innovation Team. Within the design team I am developing innovation training, tools and resources to add to the new Innovation Academy project. As part of this role, I am involved in delivery workshops and training in innovation tools and strategy in partnership with members of the Knowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) team.

I am trained as an industrial designer with special focus on technology, behaviour and AI. Early in my career I became a Management KTP Associate which allowed me to begin to specialise in innovation and strategy. I have experience across a variety of product, service and process development projects, spanning several industries, in both the private and public sector. I can offer expertise in design, innovation and strategy as well as insight into our innovation resources such as the Innovation Canvas suite.
