DRIVING SUSTAINABILTY FORWARDS

How I can help you

I take a very practical approach to sustainable innovation, providing the fresh pair of eyes needed to help your organisation find the right way forward.

I use a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods to identify innovation opportunities for my clients, drawing on my in-depth knowledge of sustainable innovation and circular thinking to solve real-time problems within the often-tight constraints of business. 

I offer research skills, critical reflection and practical experience as well as a deep understanding of the ‘voice of the customer’ which comes from my design training. 

How we can work together

Project Support

I offer regular or ad-hoc support on any size project, charged at a day rate of £550

Fixed Price KICKSTART Programme
£750

This is aimed at product manufacturers who recognise the importance of sustainability but don’t know where to start.

Whether you’re starting from scratch, need help identifying WHAT you should be focusing on, or want to create more circularity in your business, the Kickstart program is for you.

What’s Included?

Following an initial consultation to discuss the product that you want to focus on, I will lead you through a 2-hour online workshop where we will map out the key sustainability challenges and opportunities for your selected product, considering a wide range of issues across the product life cycle. After the session you will receive a summary document, outlining specific tasks and activities to move your business forward.

Multi-day workshops are costed on a case-by-case basis.
