I co-founded Swarm Partners in 2013 with Tom Farrand and Stephen King with the intention of convening radical collaborations around the big issues of our time. At the heart of Swarm is a way of working, an open, accelerated, creative co-design process, a set of practices, of doing and being, a strong set of values which guide us and a growing network of inspired people who Swarm with us.

We apply it to a range of offerings – innovation, mobilisation, venturing and learning. Sometimes serving other organisations, sometimes on our things. We use life-centered design to create participation products, build fixer brands, develop capacity in teams and support courageous leaders. All to accelerate Business Unusual, in pursuit of a more beautiful world. We work with start-ups, businesses, brands, NGO’s, public sector, activists, investors and funders. Together we prototype, hatch and grow beautiful solutions which serve both humanity and the planet.
