Human-Centred Design Training

Bespoke or off-the-shelf training in Design Thinking, Human-Centred Design, Service Design and/or their component tools (e.g customer journey maps, fast prototyping, empathy interviews). Maybe you’re just ‘design-curious’. From understanding the jargon to being able to redesign an end-to-end service, I can deliver Masters-qualified, practical training that fits your organisation, customers and you.

Design Sprints

I can lead your team through a classic design sprint, or one that we can create for your needs. Forget about the buzz words, this is a tried and true process to get tangible outcomes that would otherwise take weeks or months, in 3-5 days. Sprints help teams get from ‘everything’s overwhelming’ to an idea that’s been validated or a prototype. I’ve spent a whole year doing back-to-back design sprints in my Service Design Masters programme in Milan, Italy. And I’ve completed Jake Knapp and AJSmarts’ Masterclass in delivering sprints – just for good measure.

Bespoke Wonder Workshops

Need a one-on-one design strategy session? Maybe a team workshop to clarify priorities that have become hazy over time. Perhaps you need a creative reframing exercise or prioritisation challenge to challenge status-quo thinking or to generate ideas. I’ve been listening to and designing workshops for teams (including Senior Leadership Teams) for 20 years. What’s holding your team back right now?

Facilitation

I can facilitate your meeting, workshop, retreat or hui where you provide the content. Welcoming and warm, neutral and objective: my facilitation helps ensure everyone feels comfortable contributing, that you stick to time, and reach your intended destination.

About

Kia ora, ciao a tutti, I’m Gina.

I have a Masters in Service Design (Politecnico di Milano) and I’m passionate about sharing the mindset, tools and approaches of Human-Centred Design.

I’m interested in outcomes not buzzwords.
I’m interested in people over processes.

With 25 years’ experience across public and private sector organisations I understand that tangible beats conceptual every day of the week.

I love tech and digital used for the power of good and humane design.

As well as collaborating with inspiring European practitioners during my study, I was lucky to experience working at IDEO Munich where I could fully immerse myself in designing solutions where human experience, strategy, creativity, research and innovation intersect.

I’ve been the Lead Strategic Designer for National Australia Bank, Melbourne where we re-designed the everyday banking experience for the next 5-10 years.

I’ve worked across the New Zealand public sector for over 15 years in both central and local government.

I have also worked in theatre, media and the arts and am still actively involved in writing and performing.

I get customer. I get citizen.
I know it can be better. Much better.

I love helping organisations, teams and individuals who are passionate about making great experiences; do wonderful work.

★★★★★ 5/5

“Gina is an outstanding strategic designer who brings a unique outside perspective to prompt conversation around challenging standard pre-conceived notions/concepts.

She is an excellent facilitator and runs creative and engaging workshops fostering ideation.”

Dillon Anderson

Strategy Manager,
National Australia Bank

★★★★★ 5/5

“A true creative soul, and a strategic thinker, she has an extraordinary ability to navigate the complex ways companies acquire problems and get to the bottom of them in a way that no one else could. As a colleague, her enthusiasm for driving a high standard of work is inspirational and this was evident from the success of a series of workshops she facilitated.

Not only would I recommend Gina to any one, I would also feel a little envious that they get to work with her. She will make good things happen.”

Devon Van Haalen

National Australia Bank

★★★★★ 5/5

“Gina has been working with us on a project and she has proved herself to be a highly capable service design thinker. Her work has ranged from broad-reaching exploratory ‘what is out there…’ searches to the creation of experience design activities in workshops – and she has nailed both extremes.

If you need deep expertise and a real spark of a thinker, Gina is worth chatting to.”
