Author: Shauna
I am a curious designer, thinker, and doer who’s passionate about sustainability. I'm currently working at the intersection of business and academia.
Previously, I was service design lead at Deloitte Digital focused on human centered innovation, and service and proposition design.
I’ve provided consulting services for Fortune 100/500 companies, startups, and nonprofits in Western Europe, the U.S., and South East Asia. I’m an advocate for user-centered, participatory, and inclusive design approaches.
I have a PhD in Sustainable Design & Innovation from TU Deft and degrees in mechanical engineering and architecture from MIT.
