A passion for making a difference led them to study at UNSW’s Centre for Social Impact where they were among the first cohort to study the intersection of corporate, charity and government sectors and how these can all work together to create the best social outcomes. Studies on human-centred design inspired them to apply this thinking and create a business that disrupted the traditional HR approach. True pioneers of the employee experience, they have dedicated their energies to helping businesses design a more engaged and productive workforce and also help create pathways to employment for underserved communities. Lucas is also the Social Entrepreneur-in-Residence at UNSW’s Centre for Social Impact, engaging Master of Commerce students on social entrepreneurship.

They enjoy collaborating and partnering with organisations to transform and improve the employee journey so that it’s more effective and people centred. Using design thinking concepts, they have co-created unique solutions like the Recruitment Canvas, the Jobseeker Canvas and the Employee Strategy Canvas to help organisations and individuals navigate the employee experience more effectively.
