Core Methodologies

Six research approaches that power insight-driven service design

Applied across 15+ research studies

Ethnographic Research

Reveal lived reality

Deep immersion in contexts to understand lived experiences, cultural dynamics, and the everyday realities that shape how people interact with services and systems.

Participatory Design

Co-create with communities

Co-creation methodologies that position community members as experts and design partners, ensuring solutions emerge from rather than for the people they serve.

Narrative Inquiry

Surface meaning through stories

Story-centred research that honours the complexity of human experience, using narrative analysis to surface meaning, pattern, and possibility.

Systems Thinking

Map leverage points for change

Mapping interconnections, feedback loops, and leverage points within complex systems to identify where interventions can create meaningful change.

Design Justice

Centre marginalised voices

An equity-centred practice that interrogates power dynamics, centres marginalised voices, and designs toward liberation rather than optimisation.

Service Strategy

Translate insight into operations

Translating research insights into operational reality through service blueprinting, journey mapping, and strategic alignment. Currently pursuing ITIL-4 certification.
