We are a unique team of researchers, practitioners and creatives.
Our story began with our founder. She knew she needed to find her own way. An academic with a love of practice, she wanted her research to move beyond boundaries and open up the reflective space essential to ethical, grounded, and effective practice.
“I founded Social Research, ReImagined in 2020 and it’s been a fascinating journey. I’ve always felt more comfortable working at the margins. I don’t like boxes, and have never understood why we insist on placing ourselves in them! But instead of trying to adapt to fit, I’m now in the joyous position of bringing together a team of wonderful thinkers who also thrive on curiosity, embrace challenge, and love creativity. Leading this team is an absolute privilege.”
