A great piece by colleagues @Imran_nazerali @ArtsEMC on the importance of ensuring that people with lived experience are brought into the innovation process. Some really useful tips on how to do this in as accessible and inclusive way as possible. 🙌
Designing with and for diverse groups presents an opportunity to innovate, leading to cutting-edge, nuanced designs that work better for everyone.
Our designers share five tips on how to make design projects truly democratic, inclusive and equitable. bit.ly/3QuaF51

Excellent research from the #FairerStart mission @nesta_uk on toddler tech.
Parents are raising their children in the era of the smartphone📱
Could apps support child development, or should we be wary of toddler tech? bit.ly/3mIL767

One of the unexpected repercussions of awful events of last days is to make us look with even greater acuity at our European (inc UK) leaders... the stark contrast between so many of them and the integrity, strength & bravery of Zelensky should shame all of us. #StandWithUkraine
26 Feb 2022
Acutely intelligent, sensitive to Russia as much as to Ukraine, clear about the horror of war - quietly immensely courageous - @zelenskyyUa is an extraordinary man. This is one of the most remarkable speeches ever made - in dignified contrast to Putin’s hysterical megalomania.

Before I left @TheNationalGallery I worked with a team on new, improved version of #SensingtheUnseen for #mobile. It's now live. Dive in if you'd like to immerse yourself in the sounds & incredible artistry of Gossaert's #NorthernRenaissance painting 'The Adoration of the Kings'

Loved working on #HOMEZero for @NationalGallery before I left and so excited to see how @LoveSsega and @imaginarymakers use art and creativity to inspire people to decarbonise their homes. #
7 Feb 2022
To tackle climate catastrophe we need to help people feel positive change is possible. Through #HOMEZero, @LoveSsega and @imaginarymakers will be making art to inspire activism and even create excitement about what can be done. Can’t wait to see their work
