Yanna Vogiazou
Design Research | Behaviour Change | Service Design, Independent consultant (https://designfollowsinsight.com/)
Hello, I'm Yanna, a design consultant helping social and environmental impact organizations to design innovative solutions that address complex challenges. My approach combines human-centered design and behavior change strategies. I believe that understanding the drivers and barriers of human behavior in relation to environmental challenges is essential in order to design sustainable and transformative community programs that achieve conservation goals. I facilitate a design process with my clients to create tools, services and programs that drive systemic change, exploring solutions beyond campaigns and educational approaches.
I am really passionate about protecting nature and wildlife. Although my design experience stems mostly from healthcare, humanitarian aid, agriculture and climate change resilience programs (see https://designfollowsinsight.com/projects/), I have also worked on developing a biodiversity monitoring and reporting innovation strategy. My goal is to apply design research methodologies and innovation in the service of wildlife and nature.
I am a passionate conservation and environmental scientist pursuing a Ph.D. at ETH Zurich. I am a team player deeply committed to biodiversity conservation, climate change mitigation, and using scientific inquiry to drive innovative solutions for our planet's environmental challenges.
My research aims to address conservation issues in the cross-realm context. I am developing new spatial methods for identifying priority areas for conservation that are both complementary and connected, assessing the vulnerability of species to climate change, and identifying adaptation strategies
In the short term, I am committed to enhancing cross-realm biodiversity conservation through innovative research and collaborations. Long-term: I envision shaping global policies, building partnerships, and empowering communities toward sustainable practices.

Wildlife spécialist, DPFSE (Dynamique de Protection de la Faune Sauvage et de L'environnement)
I am from a maritime province called Milne Bay, in Papua New Guinea, where we have islands called "The Engineering Group of Islands, The DÉntrecasteaux Group of Islands, The Conflict Group of Islands (to name a few).
I have previous experience in industrial chemistry but in the past few years have moved into the environmental and sustainability space. I've done volunteer work with turtle conservation, mangrove conservation and have experience working in remote island communities. I would like to learn more about how community-based conservation and sustainable solutions work for different cultures and countries, and look forward to learning through shared experience here.
