I am an independent market and social researcher and writer specialising in understanding people's perspectives and needs, and the opportunities that exist to address issues. 

​

​The insights and content I produce inspire innovation and change and demonstrate knowledge and expertise of the latest thinking and opportunities.  

 

I write research and trend-based reports, white papers, articles, blog posts, case studies and Q&As that are fresh, easy to read, engaging and impactful.

​

My areas of focus include: media, workplaces and culture, D&I, sustainability, community, making places and spaces work for people, tech, education, health, wellness, travel, family and charities and not-for-profits.

​

I write a Substack called 'Lift Up' which is a place to feel uplifted and inspired by fresh thinking and innovation.

​

My recent white paper 'Future of work: how to be an organisation that thrives' demonstrates that doing better business leads to financial success.
