Innovation Facilitation & Workshop Design

Move Teams
From Stuck
to Shipped.

I design and facilitate workshops that do actual work — aligning stakeholders, unblocking product decisions, and building shared understanding across disciplines, organisations, and borders.

Workshop Formats

01

Online Facilitation

Miro-based collaborative sessions for distributed teams and cross-border organisations. Designed for alignment, not just attendance — with clear outcomes before anyone joins the call.

Remote · Miro · Distributed teams

02

In-Person Design Thinking

Hands-on sessions with technical and business stakeholders, guiding teams through creative design thinking methods to define user journeys, surface risks, and build shared product vision.

On-site · Full or half day · Mixed stakeholders

03

Product Discovery Sprints

Early-stage product definition workshops that translate vision into storyboards, epics, and roadmaps. Designed to get founders, designers, developers, and investors pointing in the same direction.

Startup · Scale-up · Strategic pivots

Format

Stakeholders

EU Commission, German Government, technical leads, UX teams

Scope

Cross-border UI integration across multiple EU member states

EU Commission UX Workshops & Cross-Border Digital Services Integration

EU UX Workshops in session

Research persona — workshop artefacts confidential under NDA

I led Miro-based UX workshops with the EU Commission, representing the German Government in discussions on user interface integration across borders. These sessions focused on aligning different nations' design standards, regulations, and user needs to ensure a seamless experience across member states.

In-person, I facilitated workshops with technical and business stakeholders — guiding teams through creative design thinking methods to define the user journey for the app. The challenge was bridging the gap between business goals, technical feasibility, and very different national user expectations.

What these sessions delivered

  • Shared design language and UI standards aligned across multiple EU member states
  • User journey maps co-created with technical and policy stakeholders
  • Clear handover documentation bridging design decisions to development
  • A cross-border user research framework adaptable for future EU digital services

Outcome

A user-centred framework for cross-border digital services — built through genuine collaboration between nations rather than imposed from the top down.

Defining the Vision for a Health Startup App

Product Discovery Sprint

Storyboards · Epics · Wireframes · Personas

Workshop artefacts confidential — NDA

I helped a health tech startup translate their vision into a structured product roadmap — taking them from an ambitious idea to a clear, buildable plan. The challenge was getting a diverse group of stakeholders (founders, clinicians, developers, investors) aligned on what to build first, and why.

Using participatory design methods, I guided the team through a series of workshops that moved from big-picture vision to concrete, prioritised epics — with the user always at the centre.

What these sessions delivered

  • Aligned stakeholders on business goals and user experience priorities
  • Storyboards, epics, and wireframes defining the full product journey
  • Cross-border personas highlighting diverse user needs across markets
  • A UX foundation balancing innovation, clinical feasibility, and product strategy

Outcome

A scalable, user-centred app roadmap aligned with the startup's long-term goals — and a team that understood exactly what they were building and who it was for.

Workshop Methods

I draw on a toolkit of proven facilitation methods — choosing the right combination based on where the team is stuck and what they need to produce.

Design Thinking Sprints

Structured problem-solving in compressed time — from problem statement to testable concept in a day or two.

Co-Creation Sessions

Bringing users, designers, engineers, and policymakers into the same room to build shared understanding of needs and risks.

Stakeholder Mapping

Surfacing who has power, who has needs, and who's missing from the conversation — before it becomes a problem.

Journey Mapping

Making invisible user flows visible — as a shared artefact that anchors conversations between disciplines.

Assumption Mapping

Getting risky assumptions out of people's heads and onto the wall — so teams can test what matters most first.

Participatory Design

Putting the people who live with a problem in the driving seat of solving it — especially for vulnerable or underserved populations.
