By combining user-centered design with robust impact assessment tools, I ensure your solutions are built for the people who actually use them while delivering the value your stakeholders need to see.
Hi, I’m Julie!
I’m passionate about smart ideas that turn into measurable impact. After a decade in the social innovation space, I’ve learned that while good intentions are important, product-market fit and longer vision make or break a business.
Great organisations share 3 key elements: a strong organisational culture, a data-driven strategy, and clear evaluation checkpoints to support iteration from day one.
I have worn many hats from frontline worker on the ground to researcher and entrepreneur. I have worked with multinationals corporations, led projects across the globe, raised investment and launched a tech product.
I now use my experience and tools, shaped by research and real-world practice, to help entrepreneurs, investors and innovative teams grow their impact. From designing user-centric offerings to measuring impact, I'm here for the full journey.
