How I work
I support organisations and communities to navigate complexity in ethical, grounded and imaginative ways. My practice is grounded in relational, feminist and more-than-human approaches, supported by my doctoral training, and shaped by almost fifteen years of work spanning community development, facilitation, evaluation and practice-based research.
​​
My approach is relational and co-designed. I begin with the conditions, histories and relations already present. This often means holding ambiguity, attending to power and participation, and making space for forms of knowledge that are usually overlooked.
​
Across all my work, I prioritise care, access and equity, supporting the need for clarity and accountability without flattening complexity and difference.
Core offerings
1
Relational evaluation + learning
I support organisations to understand what their work is really doing - beyond tick-box outcomes.
​
Drawing on postqualitative research methodologies, feminist ethics of care, and creative tools, I co-design evaluation processes that:
​
-
centre lived and more-than-human experience
-
make space for ambiguity, contradiction and learning
-
produce outputs that are meaningful to communities and legible to funders
​
Outputs may include high-level or summarative reports, visual or creative artefacts, learning frameworks, reflective tools, or funder-facing summaries.
2
Participatory + place-based project design
I work with teams at the beginning of projects - when things still feel uncertain - to shape approaches that are ethical, situated and sustainable.
​
This might include:
-
co-designing participatory approaches that don’t overburden or alienate communities
-
sense-checking power, access and care dynamics
-
designing slower, place-attuned ways of working
​
This work often prevents problems later - supporting projects to be fundable, accountable and relationally grounded from the outset.
3
Creative curation + resource design
I design immersive creative programmes and tools that centre community knowledge, ecological systems thinking and imaginative possibility.
This work includes:
-
tailored creative facilitation (e.g. grief, ecology, systems, story)
-
co-designed tools and resources such as zines, field guides and sensorial kits
-
community archiving and living libraries that gather stories, practices and shared knowledge
​
Formats include immersive workshops, co-created resources, community archives and living libraries.
4
Project incubation + critical companionship
I support individuals and small teams developing projects, practices or ideas that live between categories.
This support is:
-
relational, creative and strategically grounded
-
attentive to emergence, uncertainty and ethical alignment
-
supportive of confidence, capacity and sustainability
It includes creative companionship, project shaping, reflexive mentorship and gentle accountability over time.
5
Research, writing + facilitation
I undertake collaborative research, practice-based inquiry, writing and pedagogical projects aligned with my wider work on care, dis/belonging, more-than-human relations and urban ecologies.
​
This includes commissioned writing, co-authored publications, creative research outputs and experimental formats.
​
I take on a small number of projects by invitation and strong alignment.
