Introducing Kelly Ann McKercher

Kelly Ann was partway through facilitating a codesign workshop when the group asked them to sit down and stop facilitating.

Ouch.

But this experience proved to be a pivotal moment.

It showed Kelly Ann the limitations of their design training and kickstarted a journey of personal and professional discovery.

Fast forward a decade and they are now leading the next evolution of codesign. Their recent book Beyond Sticky Notes brings together a significant body knowledge (along with some personal stories) to showcase what codesign really looks like. (A hint: it’s not about shiny methods and fancy post-it note exercises.)

You can reach out and connect with Kelly Ann via LinkedIn or Email.
