Darren

Senior Consultant @ Foolproof

–

Darren is a Senior Consultant in Foolproof’s Strategy, Insight and Consulting practice, where his work centers around leading the delivery of insight that helps clients make better business decisions, usually by making better human decisions. A sense-maker and storyteller, he loves finding and shaping the narratives that enable people to make sense of complexity on their own.

Over the course of his career, he’s seen how design can meaningfully shape creative energy in teams and organisations, but to get there we often have to unblock the misalignment and resistances that exist in culture and in people. His current career exploration: what lives in the intersection of human-centric design and organisational development, and can it achieve better outcomes for the people we serve?
