Lekshmy Parameswaran

Fellow

Lekshmy is a designer who has been working in the area of health and care for over two decades. In 2008, she co-founded fuelfor, a specialist design consultancy working with a wide variety of international players within the health and care sector. In 2017 she co-founded The Care Lab, a collaborative platform that uses human-centred design practices to rethink and redesign care models and solutions for our societies and care systems. Their vision of care is as an equitable, pro-active and compassionate experience that is widely accessible and that forms an integral part of everyday life, from birth to death.

A strong and consistent thread through Lekshmy’s work is her ability to communicate credibly across disciplines: encouraging people to challenge conventional thinking, bringing the voices of patients, their families and care professionals into the innovation process in inspiring ways and creating solutions that have measurable and meaningful impact.

She holds a Master of Engineering degree from Cambridge University and a Master of Arts from the Royal College of Art in London.
