Lauren Shone
Designer
I love design, love ideating with teams, collaboration and getting into every aspect of the problem we're trying to solve from research and discovery through to interface and experience design, service design, portfolio experience and stakeholder engagement.
Most recently I've been working with streaming platforms, sustainability initiatives, and emerging technology projects.
I like to focus on clarity and turning complex, ambiguous problems into work that teams can act on.
