Research · Strategy · SYSTEMS · POLICY

I am a creative and strategic researcher passionate about supporting systems change work. I do this by thinking strategically and systemically across levels of social issues - from analysing macro trends to individual experiences and stories - and developing insights that help organisations project towards the future.

About Me

Since 2023, I've been leading research within a discovery process for Paul Hamlyn Foundation seeking to unearth the most impactful and innovative options for funding young people's futures. In this process, I’ve led research across a range of topics on young people's futures, deployed multiple methods to gather and analyse data, and presented insights to trustees and expert advisors to inform strategy.

Over the last few years, I've also supported organisations like ImpactEd, the Music Leaders Network, Create Define Release, and PRS Foundation as a freelance researcher and impact evaluator.

From 2019-2023, I was a policy researcher at the Work Foundation, co-authoring reports on social mobility for the Creative Industries Policy and Evidence Centre (PEC) and leading developmental research for the UK’s first Insecure Work Index.

I have a PhD in Sociology from Open University and an MA in Cultural and Creative Industries from King’s College London, and I've completed training in service design, creative research methods, futures methods and systemic design.
