About

I’m a researcher at WMG, University of Warwick, and at Brunel University in London, specialising in design for behaviour change for social and environmental benefit. I also do consultancy as Requisite Variety, much of which involves running workshops exploring design, people and systems. My Design with Intent toolkit is a resource of design patterns for influencing behaviour, drawn from a range of disciplines, that can be used as a brainstorming tool for designers and other stakeholders.

At present I’m working on EMPOWER, a TSB-funded collaboration with More Associates which aims to reduce workplace energy use through connecting people with energy and behavioural data in engaging ways. I also teach part of the Environmentally Sensitive Design module on Brunel’s product design courses.

In the past I’ve worked on folding bikes and mobility products with Sir Clive Sinclair, written a book about the Reliant Motor Company and studied Technology Policy at Cambridge. The Design with Intent and EMPOWER projects have provided opportunities to collaborate and engage with a diverse set of organisations including Philips Research, the RSA, IDEO, Department of Energy & Climate Change, Norwegian University of Science & Technology, Clearleft, Institute for Government and West Sussex County Council.
