Research Design House
About
We're a collective of professionals who believe that inclusive design leads to services that genuinely work.
Bringing inclusive thinking into the centre of decision making is what we do. And when it's done well, everyone benefits.
If you want to draw on the expertise of our collective, we'd love to hear from you.
Holly Draper - founder
I've spent almost ten years designing government services as a user experience professional, specialising in user research, culture and ethnography. In that time I've seen what good looks like — and what holds teams back.
As a neurodivergent working mum, I know what it's like to join a meeting and feel like your perspective doesn't carry weight. I also know the joy of working alongside ambitious, creative, thoughtful people who are all invested in building something that works well for everyone.
I founded Research Design House because I wanted to be part of something different — something that puts inclusivity at the centre of how we work and what we deliver.
How do we rethink the way we work together as User Centred Design professionals, so that we include as many perspectives as possible? (Down with Monday to Friday, 9 to 5. Down with "ten years' experience required".)
How do we raise the inclusivity bar for services, by making sure the people building them reflect the diversity of the people using them?
And how do we deliver to the highest standard while we're at it?
These are the questions Research Design House was built around, and they guide everything we do.
