02.Profile
Our catalysts will build networks for future projects and enable better community engagement and insights into future project needs; therefore providing for better placemaking (Hamdi, 2010). This’ll allow larger projects to develop with catalyst partners. My values are expressed within my CV. I completed the 16 personalities test (Figure 02)(16Personalities, 2018), which showed me as a Logician, reflecting our analytical process. When hiring, we’ll ask interviewees to complete the test, so our team will have complementary personalities, improving teamwork.

We’ll start in Oxford, with existing projects/ networks, as our networks expand, we’ll expand into other UK areas, and the world also via pro-bono workshops/ projects. Successful placemaking relies on understanding user/inhabitant needs and being a link between stakeholders (Figure 03)(Hamdi, 2010)(Project for Public Spaces, 2009), we’ll use this literature to build placemaking frameworks (Figure 04). We’re a Limited Liability Company, meaning I won’t be personally liable, allowing for flexible management and the ability to grow, take on work and have better tax options than sole traders. But disadvantages occur, i.e. all accounts being public and having to have necessary startup capital. (Startups, 2018)(Holmes, 2017).
