HCD | Strategic design | Capability uplift
I’m Iain Barker, a highly experienced human centred designer, service designer, design researcher, facilitator, coach and trainer.
I was a co-founder of the much lauded Meld Studios and have been working in human centred design and design consultancy in the public and private sectors for over 30 years.

Amongst other things Meld Studios were awarded:
- ‘2024 Good Design Team of the Year’
- ‘2018 Good Design Award of the Year’
- 2024 named by the Australian Financial Review in the Top 5 Best Places to Work in the Professional Services industry across Australia and NZ.
I mainly live and work on Gayemagal land in Sydney’s Northern Beaches – but I love to travel and am available to work wherever you may be.
