I'm Gabby, a creative, designer, researcher and maker. Designing the relatable as well as tangible, fun as well as the important. I move with ease between product, speculative, service and experience design.
With a focus on on creating new experiences that empower people, are more equitable and make us think and feel something new.
My interdisciplinary approach blends design, research and making as a tool for positive impact, change and new conversations.
