Researcher, Challenge Works
Jordan brings a multi-disciplinary skillset spanning across research, design and prototyping with a particular focus on social and environmental innovation.
She is passionate about participatory research and design methods and is motivated by making an impact.
Originally from Canada, Jordan moved to the UK in 2022 to do a Master's in biodesign where she worked on a research project exploring speculative applications of micro-algae as a nature-based solution for carbon drawdown. Before that, she worked with organisations in the non-profit and public sectors to make services more accessible, inclusive and simple to use.
Jordan is also actively studying towards becoming a sommelier (with a focus on natural wine), and dreams of one day sailing across the Atlantic in the ARC Rally. In her spare time, you can find her catching live music, making experimental ferments and trying new restaurants around London.
