Analysis Sprint
A rapid assessment to understand the landscape and identify immediate opportunities, with comprehensive research and a strategic recommendations document
Deep Mapping
A comprehensive structural analysis of your digital ecosystem, research area, or strategic environment, with working prototypes or detailed scenario planning (depending on project type)
Strategy & Co-design
Co-designed strategy informed by platform intelligence, speculative design, or foresight analysis, working prototypes, materials, or scenario planning toolkits
Foresight & Resilience Strategy
For organisations preparing for technological disruption..
The next decade will likely see the rise of ambient computing, community-based networks, and the potential collapse of the current AI market.
I help organisations develop strategies that account for multiple possible futures—not predicting what will happen, but building adaptive capacity to thrive regardless.
This work sits at the intersection of communications strategy and technology design, preparing you for volatility.
Speculative Prototyping
For academics, researchers, legal experts, & policy professionals.
Your research has implications for how technology should work, but it's trapped in text. I bridge the gap by turning theoretical work into interactive prototypes.
Exploring the feasibility of tech regulations through working models, visualising what technologies based on your ideas would actually look like, or creating tangible demonstrations for funding applications and stakeholder engagement.
Platform-Informed Comms
For political campaigns, advocacy organisations, and media groups.
The platforms that carry your message are designed systems—interface patterns, recommendation algorithms, persuasive architectures that shape what gets seen and believed.
We map the flow of information, identify algorithmic choke points, and reverse-engineer the social engineering tactics being deployed against and for you. The deliverable is a strategic map of the digital battlefield.
Interface Persuasion Audit
A forensic analysis of your digital product's behavioural architecture. I map every persuasion pattern, dark pattern, engagement loop, and choice framework in your interface — from onboarding to checkout, notification to settings. You get a detailed report with a severity rating for each finding and specific redesign recommendations.
Best For: Product teams, app developers, ethical tech startups, regulated industries..
Research & Advisory Retainer
Monthly strategic counsel for organisations navigating platform shifts, regulatory changes, and evolving digital norms. You get a direct line to someone who tracks this landscape full-time — for the moments when a policy change, algorithm update, or emerging pattern demands an informed response fast.
.Best for: Organisations in transition, leadership teams building long-term digital strategy.
Platform Informed Comms Strategy
Strategy &
Co-Design
A strategic communications framework built on systems-level understanding of how platforms distribute, suppress, and amplify content. I help you develop messaging, content strategy, and channel approaches that cut through algorithmic noise — without resorting to the engagement-hacking tactics that undermine your credibility.
Best for: NGOs, advocacy organisations, independent media, mission-driven brands.
DISCOVERY
We talk about your product, your users, and what's bothering you. I'll tell you honestly whether I can help— and if I can, I'll outline what an engagement would look like and what it would cost.
DIAGNOSIS
I go deep into your product, platform presence, or communications stack. I'm mapping the behavioural layer: what assumptions your design is making about your users, what patterns it's borrowing, and where those patterns confl ict with your values.
DELIVERY
A strategic communications framework built on systems-level understanding of how platforms distribute,suppress, and amplify content. I help you develop messaging, content strategy, and channel approaches thatcut through algorithmic noise — without resorting to the engagement-hacking tactics that undermine yourcredibility.
