Fan has always been keen to use her design skills to help shape a better society.
She feels lucky that her first job was with PCC, an Irish communication agency working exclusively with progressive non-profit organisations. She also recently completed a MA in Design for Development at Kingston University, where she had
the chance to explore how her creative skills can be applied to social and environmental challenges.
Probably as a result of growing up in the multicultural suburbs of Paris, Fan has a strong interest in the blurry areas of cultural identity and social cohesion. She believes that communication design should move beyond public or corporate communication,
to serve the wider purpose of enhancing communication between people and communities. She is particularly interested in how user-centred design practices
are creating a context in which individual stories are valued.
She is also obsessed with food, and is working hard to set up a sustainable community kitchen using food surplus in Brixton.
