Individual (Holly Bartley)

My name is Holly Bartley, and I hold a Master’s 1 degree in design and sustainable innovation. I am passionate about using design to drive social change, and I believe that Catalyst 2030 is the perfect place for me to contribute to a purpose-driven community. Over a year ago, Daisy Bartlett welcomed me into the Catalyst 2030 community. Since then, I have had the privilege of joining various seminars and conversations organized by the Catalyst 2030 team and members, gaining invaluable insights into the world of social innovation, and meeting some amazing social entrepreneurs, such as Terence A. Asitibasi, who recently welcomed me as a volunteer partnerships & development manager for Tolerantia Reach, an NGO part of the Catalyst 2030 members. With seven years of background in design and professional experience conducting research, using participatory design, and being part of the ongoing evolution of a learning ecosystem for social innovators. I have been part of projects working alongside public services and governments to shift practices and enable structural and systemic change constantly questioning paradigms. I am interested in influencing practices and designing sustainable systems to meet the growing needs of the Catalyst 2030 community.
