Topics
I sometimes write articles, speak on panels or give talks about:
- Inclusive design as a tool for designing for 'vulnerable customers'.
- How open banking can be used to improve financial capability for those in vulnerable circumstances.
- The link between money and mental health problems.
- Diversity and inclusion in tech and fintech.
