A qualified designer with a Master of Design Futures from RMIT, and research focused on how organisations adopt design thinking as a capability. This lens shapes everything - how problems get framed, how people are brought into the work, and how solutions are built to last.
Chrisanya Martin
I work with government and public-purpose organisations as a strategic partner — bringing deep knowledge from building and leading functions in local government including corporate strategy and planning, service planning and design, performance reporting, and organisational transformation.
Along the way I became genuinely curious about how design thinking could change the way organisations approach complex work - not just in service teams, but in corporate services. That curiosity led me to complete a Master of Design Futures at RMIT, where I researched how local governments adopt design thinking as an organisational capability.
Now I work independently, helping government and public-purpose organisations bridge strategy, design, and delivery - so that intent actually translates into outcomes.
