Professor Lisa Grocott is a co-design researcher thriving in collaborating with interdisciplinary teams on social impact and organisational change projects.

With her expertise in co-design, neurodivergent lived experiences, and Indigenous knowledge, her research animates the rewriting of stories and telling of previously untold narratives. Born in Aotearoa New Zealand and of Ngāti Kahungunu descent, Lisa's creative methods have sharpened collaborations with psychology and education researchers, creative methodologists, and ethnographers across Australia, the United States, Denmark, and Great Britain.
