I run Design Research Works, this is a UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship which aims to understand, gather evidence about, and promote leadership for Design Research. I'm particularly interested in the role that Design Research plays in understanding rapidly-changing relatonships between individuals, society, and technology.

Through my UKRI Future Leaders Fellowship my Design Research Works group participates in a wide range of research projects. My work has three main themes 1. Show the world what it can gain from Design Research. 2. Use innovative Design methods to conduct groundbreaking research exploring the impact of Artificial Intelligence. 3. Drive forward More Than Human Design helping to understand how to design a better future. Some recent projects include: - Ryelands AI Lab, where we are pioneering AI education in a primary school. - Permission to Muck About, a feature length documentary film including interviews with some of the world's leading design researchers. - Shadowplay, an immersive installation and collaboration platform using physical movement as a way of controlling generative AI - Seeing with Sound, using computer games to understand how to enhance accessibility for the visually impaired. - Fixing the Future, a multi-institution project exploring the right to repair and smart devices. - Responsible AI Licensing, an international group working to create licences to support open source but responsible sharing of AI innovations. I aspire to offer affiliative and democratic leadership to both my team and my field. My vision is to promote the value of design research, particularly focusing on how it can be used to help technology make the world a better place. I am an open collaborator and am always willing to share what I know and why I'm interested in it. If you would like to discuss how we can work together or find out about any of the initiatives I am involved with, then please reach out to me.
