Nonprofit leader and researcher helping charities and movements be more effective. As Co-Founder of Rendered—https://rendered.one/ - I’m building a platform that connects nonprofits with skilled professionals at affordable rates. As Director of Social Change Lab—https://www.socialchangelab.org/ - I lead empirical research on how social movements succeed, helping movements make more informed decisions about climate, animal welfare, and AI safety campaigns.
I have extensive advocacy and policy experience, having led public campaigns on climate justice, refugee and migrant rights, humanitarian crises, global health and economic inequality. I hold research positions at the University of Bath and University of Exeter and am a PhD researcher at London School of Economics, examining coalitions and alliances in the English environmental movement. I also regularly contribute to national and international media discussions on activism and social change.

Sharing this in case it’s useful for any EA orgs looking for access to affordable professional help: check out my org Rendered which connects nonprofits with vetted professionals at roughly 25% of what a commercial consultant charges.
The idea is a lot of organisations doing important work end up going without professional support on strategy, tech, design, or comms because they can’t justify the cost. We’re trying to fix that.
It’s not volunteering—both sides pay and get paid, which we think matters for accountability. But it’s also not a consultancy.
We’re early stage and actively looking for organisations to work with across EA. If you have a project that’s been sitting on the back burner because it felt too expensive to tackle, it might be worth a look.
