Hannah Lyons-Tsai is a practitioner-researcher working at the intersection of academia and community-led innovation.

Her interests span Transition Design, complexity thinking, and creative inquiry, with a particular focus on how lived experience, story, and participatory approaches can inform the design of responses to complex socio-technical challenges. She is particularly interested in how participatory and creative methods can support more adaptive and regenerative forms of system change. The diverse modalities through which she has been exploring this recently include Permaculture, the Work that Reconnects, Nonviolent Communication and a personal creative practice of intuitive watercolour and drawing.
