About me

I specialise in what’s become known as design for behaviour change — understanding and influencing people’s behaviour for social and environmental benefit, through the design of products, services and environments. In March 2013 I joined the Helen Hamlyn Centre for Design at the Royal College of Art, London, working on the SusLabNWE project.

As Requisite Variety, I also run workshops, provide consultancy and do research at the interface between people and designed systems. I take a crossdisciplinary approach, drawing on ideas from a wide range of fields to help understand and frame problems.

Previously, I’ve been a research fellow at WMG, University of Warwick, and a research assistant at Brunel University, on Empower, a TSB-funded collaboration with CarbonCulture, a startup aiming to reduce workplace carbon footprint through connecting people with energy use data and their own behaviour in engaging ways, using a digital platform. For my PhD at Brunel, I developed the Design with Intent toolkit, an interaction design pattern library bringing together behavioural insights and examples into a form useful for designers.

I’ve taught environmentally sensitive design on Brunel’s product design courses and have been an occasional visiting lecturer at Central Saint Martins and the Judge Business School (University of Cambridge), as well as a number of one-off lectures and workshops for institutions including the Saïd Business School (University of Oxford), NTNU (Trondheim), Copenhagen Institute of Interaction Design, Parsons The New School for Design (New York), and for the 3TU consortium at the University of Twente (Enschede).

I’m particularly interested in what might be termed public understanding of everyday systems — how we interpret and understand the technology around us, how we interact with it, and what the consequences could be for design which seeks to influence change.

In the past, I’ve worked in R&D for Sir Clive Sinclair, including on some unusual folding bikes, and written a book on the Reliant Motor Company.

Current and recent research projects
SusLabNWE, 2013-. Funded by Interreg IVB.
SusLabNWE is a European project integrating people-centred design with domestic energy and behaviour sensing.

EMPOWER: Empowering empathic energy efficiency design, 2010-12. Funded by Technology Strategy Board, EPSRC and More Associates (total project value: £580k).
Led by CarbonCulture / More Associates in collaboration with Brunel Design and WMG at the University of Warwick, EMPOWER focused on better understanding the energy-use implications of people’s everyday interaction behaviour with workplaces, and developing a novel user-centred product/service system to reduce energy demand, working with the CarbonCulture platform being trialled by several UK government departments.

The research integrated insights from the latest work on design for behaviour change with a programme of user-driven product / service development, through a series of ethnographic investigations and participatory design workshops, providing a basis for commercial realisation. The expected benefits from better energy efficiency included both financial savings and CO2 emissions reduction, while the focus on engagement with building users aimed to improve working environments.

EMPOWER was one of four research programmes receiving investment from the Technology Strategy Board following a week-long creative sandpit on the theme of User-Centred Design for Energy Efficiency in Buildings in March 2010. Brunel’s part in the project was led by Professor David Harrison as Principal Investigator; Warwick’s by Dr Rebecca Cain.

Watts and Trevs, 2012-13. Funded by Requisite Variety.
In collaboration with Kiersten Nash of Parsons The New School for Design in New York, I am investigating consumer understanding of the units commonly used for monitoring and pricing domestic electricity use. The basic question is whether expressing power explicitly as “energy-per-time” (e.g. kJ/hr) rather than as a unit which is itself a rate (e.g. W) aids consumer ability to calculate energy use and costs when paired with changes to the units in which electricity prices are expressed. The study is being undertaken mainly via Amazon Mechanical Turk.

Making Instructions, 2012-13. Funded by Brighton Mini Maker Faire.
With Rob Phillips (Brunel University, Open Design Research Group), this project involved developing “asking people to create instructions for others” as a research method for understanding people’s mental models of systems. Running practical engagement activities at the 2012 Brighton Mini Maker Faire, we investigated visitors’ experiences with using and understanding instructions (often a stumbling-block in becoming involved in the ‘maker’ movement), and asked them to create instructions for others. An article exploring the approach has been written for ACM Interactions’Academic experience

Behaviour change workshops and consultancy to industry & government

In 2008-12, I have run Design with Intent workshops and exercises for Philips Research, Eindhoven; for Jaguar Land Rover (via WMG); with IDEO and the RSA for the National Policing Improvement Agency, London; for the Modern Built Environment Knowledge Transfer Network at a day on ‘Changing User Behaviour’; three workshops for Clearleft at UX London 2010 and dConstruct 2011; for Stanford University’s Persuasive Technology Lab, at the Persuasive 2010 conference, Copenhagen; for Brighton & Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust at the Design Council, London; with Ripple PRD for West Sussex County Council, Horsham; for the 3TU Federation’s Design for Usability project at the University of Twente, Netherlands; at UX People 2011 in London for Zebra People; and at the IxDA Interaction 12 conference in Dublin. I’ve also run academic workshops on Design with Intent at the Norwegian Institute of Science & Technology, Trondheim and at Brunel for Design BA, BSc and MSc students as part of modules on Environmentally Sensitive Design and Sustainable Design, and Information Systems & Computing BSc students as part of a module in HCI, as well as controlled brainstorming workshops for my PhD, with both students and practising designers.

The areas of behaviour change addressed in the workshops have included increasing public engagement with the police, oral healthcare, improved user experience for a variety of websites, a range of hospital staff and patient behaviours for safety and productivity, building local authority behaviour change expertise, and encouraging building users to be comfortable with greater seasonal temperature variations.

As part of the EMPOWER project, I have helped run ethnographic studies, interviews and user engagement workshops with More Associates‘ CarbonCulture project at the Department of Energy & Climate Change, London. Other work with More Associates includes preparation of a state-of-art review on feedback methods for influencing sustainable behaviour, and participation in More’s idea generation workshop for Bovis Lend-Lease, Olympic Park, Stratford, London.

Aside from running workshops, I have given presentations on design, behaviour and Design with Intent to teams from: R/GA, London; Ubisoft, Paris; Dyson, Malmesbury; Stannah, Andover (for the RCA); Spice (time credits), London; HMRC, London; QinetiQ, Sevenoaks; Marks & Spencer, London; Engine service design, London; UFI Learndirect, Sheffield; EMC Consulting, London; Foviance, London; Design Council, London; Nando’s, London (with Futerra); and the Technology Strategy Board, Swindon, on visit to Brunel.

In 2010 I was invited to discuss applying Design with Intent to behaviour change for financial decision-making in the US mortgage market and low-income banking sector by Harvard University‘s ideas42 think-tank. In 2009 I was invited to discuss the design of smart energy meters with the UK government’s Department of Energy & Climate Change, resulting in the Design & Behaviour group submission to DECC’s consultation. For the Design Council, I have taken part in an ‘expert workshop’ on using design to reduce violence and aggression in A&E, January 2011. For the Modern Built Environment Knowledge Transfer Network, I was invited to take part in a discussion at BRE, Watford, on user behaviour in dwellings in December 2010, and then to give a presentation and run an exercise at an event on user behaviour in buildings in March 2011. For Forum for the Future I was invited to take part in the ‘Tea 2030′ workshop on sustainable tea production and use, London, in March 2012. I’m also a member of the Institute for Government’s informal Behaviour Change network, which examines issues of behaviour change for social benefit from a variety of policy and practice perspectives.
