An experienced user experience/HCI consultant & executive coach :

Prior to joining Sussex, I worked in industry for a number of years as a user experience consultant with Sapient in London , working with a range of government and commercial clients eg from financial, healthcare, travel sectors.  I have also conducted a number of other consultancies in both the UK and Australia around people and technology and in both business and healthcare contexts. I have been expert advisor on the Work Foundation iSociety project and on the Work Foundation advisory board, and for the Royal Society (Public Workshops: Cybertrust and Information Security). I also have extensive clinical and management experience working in the healthcare sector.

Consultancy areas:

I consult in areas of user-centred design, interaction design, ethnographic/user/workplace studies, usability testing, evaluation of new or existing technologies, and literature reviews and surveys of state of the art.

I understand how to engage with clients and users and how to deliver business value in a fast-moving time- and resource-constrained environment. I look at technology in the total context of its use.

I am particularly able to mentor teams and deliver training courses in any of the above areas.

A recent consultancy was for the UK Dept of Health undertaking a review of technologies to support self care. The full report is available in three parts from the Dept of Health self-care site.

I am also a Results-trained executive and life coach with a particular focus on supporting people in the university sector to achieve their full potential as leaders, managers, project investigators, phd supervisors, researchers.
