Belinda’s research investigates the role of design in improving health, wellbeing, and social outcomes across the lifespan using a combination of participatory design and communication design approaches. She is passionate about demonstrating the value of design at a societal level. As an interdisciplinary scholar that works at the nexus of design and health, she works collaboratively with health professionals, patients, and relevant stakeholders to develop a shared understanding of what it means to conduct design research and practice in health settings. Belinda has contributed to the growing design and health evidence-base through dissemination of a collaborative design model that has been internationally recognised. Throughout her research practice, Belinda has led national, cross-institution collaborations and has established partnerships with industry that have attracted both internal and external funding.
