Creative problem solving: Design-Thinking for non-designers

Helen Simmons (she/her) is a creative catalyst, digital dynamo and community builder. She worked for Accenture for more than two decades across many aspects of their technology business until being made redundant in September when she changed direction towards innovation design. She’s currently hanging out with people much cooler than her at Northumbria University while studying for Masters in Multidisciplinary Innovation. Outside of work Helen is mum to three young daughters, enjoys crafting and trying out new hobbies (while ignoring the housework). Helen is passionate about well-being, sustainability and accessibility. If you’d like to cyber stalk her in advance she can be found at https://www.linkedin.com/in/happyhelensimmons/ and https://twitter.com/littlehen33. She would be happy to connect and would love to hear from you if there is anything she can do as part of her presentation to make it more comfortable, accessible or inclusive to you.
