My guest today is Ashley Moon, who is a service and strategic designer, researcher, strategist, systems thinker and community lover with a deep passion for creating experiences where people feel heard, seen, and valued.
As a strategic designer myself, I share the care for stewarding interactions so that environments are accessible for everyone and contribute to a culture of care.
Ashley’s work centres around collaborating with organisations, different communities and people to design experiences that aim to be equitable while fostering connection and belonging.
🎧 Listen to this episode to hear us talk about:
Ashley’s observations of generational changes in creating communities of belonging
Imagination and Play as pathways to integration and a Sense of Belonging
Place and People as anchors for meaning and belonging
Ashley’s wedding was a perfect case for service design
Intentional care for the Wellbeing of Communities and the little opportunities to create belonging
and so much more ..
In a free comprehensive resource Ashley shares an activity for you to reflect deeply on who you serve and how to make everyone feel welcome.

I personally admire Ashley’s deep understanding of systemic challenges and her creative lens in supporting the creation of social cohesion and so it was a pleasure to chat about social cohesion, embedding care into services by design and finding belonging in a place that is politically divided.
