I am Aki, here to help with
reclaiming your attention for what matters.
On a personal level, I want to help you with guiding your attention to the things that truly matter. They are found within each of us: the true, the good, and the beautiful. I have reoriented my attention and can help you to cultivate yours.
On a community level, I wish to lend my experience in design, innovation, and technology to community projects. I am keen to contribute to initiatives that seek to reimagine our relationships to work, local communities, and the more-than-human world.
For both ends, I offer interactive, thought-provoking workshops. Let’s begin the conversation!
Offerings
Signature workshop for finding calm in the storm
This workshop format is targeted at individual participants, working with me 1:1 or as a group in a shared session. We will surface ways for you to reclaim your attention and find calm in the midst of the overwhelm of worrying news. The workshop is a free introduction of a larger series.
Team workshop
This workshop format is targeted at project teams working on community interest initiatives in need of help with focus, prioritisation, and making complex decisions. The format is tailored to your particular situation and draws from my long experience in workshop facilitation in business contexts.
Undesign thinking
Undesign thinking represents a reinterpretation of the design thinking approach that has been employed in various sectors for the past decades. ‘Undesigning’ aims at a similar holistic understanding of a problem space and design process as design thinking, but with deliberate focus to design away from techno-solutionism and growth mindsets, and towards regenerative and redistributed outcomes.
