I am passionate about designing tools to support informed decisions and to minimise errors. My focus is applying concepts from psychology to enable ethical design. These concepts include cognitive biases, emotion regulation theories, metacognition, and behaviour change theories. See more details.

I would love to hear from companies or research groups who support ethical and independent digital technology. I am also particularly interested in the cognitive challenges of managing of complex processes or infrastructure (such as IT systems).
