Design consultant, researcher, writer and educator in design management and the creative industries. I published a visual book on Design Management (www.avabooks.ch) which is selling really well, and am now writing more on design's relationship to business, society and the environment. My background is in architecture, design and brand consultancy. I'm currently leading postgraduate courses in design, business, innovation and entrepreneurship in the UK.

Support to NPO's mainly in an educational capacity (eg student internships, projects), and in raising profile of issues via writing and publication. I am currently researching material for inclusion in a forthcoming book and am open to suggestions for 'good design' projects, processes and practices: ones that demonstrate a solid business, societal and environmental benefit.
