National Programme Leader, Designing Demand

Ellie Runcie

At the Design Council I am responsible for developing and progressing a UK wide strategy to influence the use of design by managers in the public and private sectors, through partnerships and initiatives with intermediary organisations.

Before joining the Design Council I worked to develop design support programmes for small businesses to help them improve their innovation performance.

What I'm working on

I'm leading on Designing Demand: Innovate – a service for high-tech ventures to help them reduce risks and increase their investment prospects through the use of design.

I'm also looking at ways we can adapt and improve Designing Demand for the future
