With Good Grief, I help breathe new life into a space that hasn't changed in a century, through people-centric and design-led thinking.
What I can do for you ⟶
-
By popular demand I am offering 1-hour calls to pick my brain on a trend topic, your idea or business question. Most of the time, this a structured conversation and sparring of insights.
-
I have prepared trend presentations on various topics for a wide range of organizations. They provide a high-level overview of a consumer or industry trend and key insights. These are often used internally to understand the big picture, guide innovation and strategic thinking.
Example topics:
• Grief in the digital age
• The future of cemeteries
• Sustainability & Death
• Digital Immortality
• The changing role of end-of-life planning
• Remembrance – new approaches, rituals and designs
• The status quo in Death Tech
-
To answer your specific questions and provide you with information that fits your brand and roadmap, I offer customized research projects. In addition to the content, the format for the reporting will also be adapted to fit your needs.
-
I have facilitated everything from structured brainstorming sessions to innovation workshops for small startups or larger brands, with the aim of putting trend insights into action immediately.
