Phoenix is a boutique research and strategy consultancy focused on helping brands ensure that what their brand stands for, is actually represented through their products and services. I lead a small team of researchers and strategists to deeply understand user needs in order to optimize and build products that alleviate pain points, and align to business and brand promises.Example projects:• Noom: Redesigning the coaching service through an extensive and on-going program of cultural research, UX research (quant & qual), experiment concepting & development and experiment evaluation. As a result of over 60 experiments, the coaching service evolved into a multi-tier, ROI positive offering that provides users of different needs a solution that fits.• Muse: Exploration into new product and business models through extensive qualitative and quantitive research. From running surveys, observations and focus groups with existing users, to workshops with the C-suite, new product concepts were developed and tested.

I decided to take a year out and do a full time MA in Digital Design. Focusing on exploring more of the making and development side of product design. Working in multi-disciplinary teams, we worked on live project briefs in combination with lessons ranging from design ethics to speculative design to coding and development. https://www.masterdigitaldesign.com/Example projects:• TouchBox: For our final project we partnered with a start-up in the dementia space to help explore and build a product that could help early onset PWDs (from their 50s) stay longer at home before having to move into a care home. Through extensive literature research, observations of PWDs and care homes and co-creation workshops, we landed on the multi-sensorial approach to engaging and stimulating PWDs. Using music, we developed a system that was activated through touch between the PWD and a loved one where they could share a moment and recall a song from their past.• Smart Bin: Contaminating recycling bins with non-recyclable materials is a problem that results in whole bundles of recycling being dumped in land-fill. I invested and built a prototype for a smart bin that used image recognition to identify waste (e.g. paper or plastic) and then automatically delivered it to the correct bin. Through using a research through design approach, and learning the fundamentals of coding I was able to build a working prototype.
