I’m Tania—a systemic participatory designer, developmental evaluator, and supervisor who partners with individuals, teams, and organisations to navigate complexity and create meaningful social change.
My work helps people see challenges differently and act in new ways, so together we can design, evaluate, and embed innovations that truly matter.
What matters
People at the centre: Real change begins by listening deeply and privileging lived experience, especially voices historically excluded from our social and economic systems.
Complexity embraced: Human systems are intricate and interconnected. Effective solutions come from understanding and embracing this complexity, not avoiding it.
Ecology & social justice: Designing social value means caring for both people and our environments, supporting equitable outcomes and ecological wellbeing.
Relational approaches: Whakawhanaungatanga—relationship-building—and Manaakitanga—respect, generosity, and care guide the mahi.
