Danielah is a Sydney-based, multidisciplinary designer, PhD candidate and Associate Lecturer of Industrial Design at the University of New South Wales. In her PhD research, Danielah applies participatory methodologies, specifically cultural probes activities and co-design workshops, to explore alternative perspectives of the active ageing model with older Australians in retirement centres in Tasmania and regional New South Wales. By introducing care as a critical approach in design research, Danielah aims to reveal perspectives on ageing that are overlooked in the productivity paradigm that surrounds the active ageing model, and develop more inclusive principles with which to approach commercial industrial design for ageing populations.
Danielah's work has been featured in local and international design exhibitions and publications. She has been a panellist on topics such as design education, collaborative creative practice, and critical and participatory design methodologies. In 2023, Danielah was the recipient of an Australian Good Design Gold Award for the Overlay rug collection for Australian company DesignByThem.
