Portfolio of Work

I study how to co-create realistic and motivating stories
of what a better future could look and feel like,
especially in complex system contexts where change feels intractable.
My work moves between imagination and implementation,
from community-built futures to patient-voice research that changes
how care is delivered.

Pet Health Futures

Futures methods helped shift perspectives from current day habits to a more systemic perspective of where the veterinary industry is likely headed.
