Rosie Farrer

Rosie Farrer is a Project Lead on the Lab’s Age Unlimited programme.

Rosie joined NESTA in January 2010 to work on the Age Unlimited programme, which targets people in their fifties and up, experimenting with ways to extend employment opportunities; create more flexible work in accordance with the needs and aspirations of older workers; and find better ways to support the transition to other roles and interests.

She is working across a portfolio of 11 projects to help them involve prospective service users in the design of their services and test and refine their ideas using prototyping techniques.

Previously Rosie worked at the Design Council on the Public Services by Design programme, helping public sector managers to build awareness and understanding of how design can help in the process of developing and delivering better public services.

She is a Psychology graduate, and also holds an MSc in International Development and Environment.
