Urban Planning using Co-production in Croydon, South London, UK
Two years ago I worked for UCL's Coproduction team https://www.ucl.ac.uk/public-engagement/co-production-collective on an urban planning project, helping Croydon council bid for a pot of money from the GLA.
They won the bid, so I've been asked back to help record the co-production process. Image below is a work in progress, the 'vision' for the project is still tbc hence the blank banner space.
Thanks to Niccola Hutchinson Pascal for asking me back, and for recommending me widely to her other UCL colleagues. I've worked on some really interesting projects this year.

UCL - Grand Challenges, Inequalities
I have been working on some of the ‘Grand Challenges’ research projects for University College London (UCL).
More on these here:https://www.ucl.ac.uk/grand-challenges/
This is the hoped for future, a more balanced and equal one, where everyone is able to participate and internally UCL has become more self-aware and inclusive:

Inclusion - Schools Conference, Derby
Had a wonderful morning up in Derby yesterday, drawing a slightly epic 4 metres of live scribing for a very enthusiastic and passionate crowd of heads and other inclusive teaching advocates. This is my 3rd year and I’ve already been invited back for next year! Thanks to Jo Wilkinson and the Inclusion Partnership https://inclusionpartnership.co.uk/inclusion-conference/
Also thanks to John Felix for the lovely portraits! https://johnfelix.com/

UCL the Grand Challenges: Climate Change
Please double click to enlarge! University College London have several large research projects that they call Grand Challenges, mainly because - they’re huge things to tackle, often described as ‘wicked’ problems.
This was a town hall on Climate Change, and as we’re all starting to swelter this summer, I really hope some of their research comes up with some gems!
Kinship report
Some work I live scribed and then added to post-event for the charity ‘Kinship’ .https://kinship.org.uk/
A call to the government - to reform the support given to kinship carers, because they’re doing largely unpaid and unsupported work looking after vulnerable children.
Logo Design, Family Hub site, East London
Had a panicked call recently from a client who need a logo design, pronto! So after a rapid exchange of listening and squiggly sketches I came up with a couple of options, and the final image was chosen, (very quickly!) and is now being used on signage out in the eastern fringes of London.
