Questions Kelley is exploring in their work right now

  • How do we collectively ensure we are designing and enabling a better and inclusive future where no-one is left behind?
  • How do we get rid of the 'noise' and truly create inclusive economies where humans and the environment are held at the centre?
  • And can the circular economy create this type of reality, and if so, how?
