Hey I’m Lydia

I am a generalist, eco-feminist, optimist and designer carving out a space for my intersectional practice. I strive to be thoughtful, curious, and immersive in my work, building holistic systems and meaningful relationships with people, places and ecologies. My practice is a balance of strategy and intuition cultivated over the last decade of experience in community development, service design, design research, creative strategies, visual language, material culture, relational systems, and team leadership.

Currently, my projects both professional and academic utilise relational embodies practice to explore the future of food security, community development, land and material management, and social equity. I believe design can play a role in a more grounded, regenerative and socially empowered future.

It is important to me that I work with folks who contribute positively to their communities– local and global– toward positive action for more regenerative and inclusive futures for both people and planet.
