Work showcase

British Red Cross: Home to the unknown. 2019

In-depth qualitative research, exploring the experiences of patients returning home from hospital and the impact on their long-term health and wellbeing. The research culminated in a conference launching our report and film to healthcare professionals and policy makers, to influence the redesign of services for vulnerable individuals returning home.

Red & Yellow Care & Alzheimer’s Society: A good life with dementia. 2017

By identifying the key principles that make all of our lives fulfilling – and extending these into how we care for people with dementia – we challenged policymakers, service designers and frontline carers to re-think how they support people to live well with dementia.

The Richmond Group of Charities: Just one thing after another. 2018

Providing this consortium of charities with an understanding of what it is like to live with multiple long-term health conditions (MLHC’s) through in-depth interviews. Particularly exploring the compounding impact of decreasing mobility on poor health, the research highlighted opportunities for preventative measures to avoid the development of MLTCs.

Samaritans: Out of sight out of mind. 2020

Middle-aged men from low-income backgrounds have significantly higher rates of suicide than other groups but are often disengaged with support. From conversations with men at risk of suicide across the UK, we provided design principles for services to break down stigma around mental health and encourage men to seek help.
