PROJECT LINKI led the design and development of a comprehensive Co-Creation Toolkit aimed at facilitating the creation of user-friendly and effective environmental data services. Recognising the challenges in translating complex data into accessible and engaging products, I led the initiative to help researchers, developers, and designers in co-designing solutions with end-users.
The toolkit provides a structured framework, incorporating user research methods, prototyping techniques, and best practice guidelines. It emphasises the importance of understanding user needs, gathering feedback, and iteratively refining products to ensure they are both valuable and user-friendly. By promoting a collaborative approach, the toolkit enables stakeholders to actively participate in the design process, fostering a sense of ownership and ensuring the final products truly address the needs of the users.
A key aspect of my role involved coordinating with subject-matter experts, designers, and user researchers working with environmental data to curate and structure the toolkit's content. This ensured the inclusion of diverse perspectives and expertise, resulting in a robust and practical resource. The toolkit is designed to be adaptable and scalable, allowing for its application across a wide range of environmental data projects and initiatives.

Created a visual workflow representation that clearly communicates the complex Spatial Data Delivery Service (SDDS) process.
This case study demonstrates how user-centered design, rapid prototyping, and modern development tools can transform complex environmental data into accessible, actionable insights for diverse user groups.

The offshore wind industry needed a simplified, accessible tool to compare geological features for foundation siting decisions. Existing geological assessment data was locked in complex Excel spreadsheets, making it difficult for wind farm developers to quickly evaluate and compare site conditions across different geological environments.
