Profile

What is on your wish list for Montpelier?
A warm smile and a friendly hello as I walk down the road.
What kind of activity would you like to get involved in?
I'm getting involved in 7G as a voluntary worker. Today was my initiation. I'm hoping to bring to the community my energy and enthusiasm and am relatively open to giving and receiving, so long as I feel it is useful and my effort is appreciated...
Do you have any skills or knowledge you would like to share?
I'm a product designer by training, I'm practical, curious, often creative and care about people's needs and aspirations, whether expressed or not. Research interests me [first hand preferably] but also in contextual 2nd-hand research to get the big strategic picture. I have worked with global corporations to develop new consumer products but now want to bring my problem-solving interests and creative skills into more of a social entrepreneurial setting. Designing services interests me, as does the "customer experience". I'm a good communicator both in verbal presentation and in written word and believe in the potential power of a good conversation and the benefits drawn from a patience to listen to someone else's point of view .

deja vu?

When I first came to Bristol as a visitor seven years ago, my friend Sara Cole, an architect who lived at Bath Buildings, told me I must move here.
I knew she was probably right because she was so intuitive and almost knew me better than I knew myself at the time [stressed, exclusively work focused, head in the sand!]
However, it took a different catalyst to get me to move here 7 years later. Perhaps I should say that i'm a slow coach, but actually I'm also a believer in Khairological… Continue
