Jervenne is driven by a curiosity about people, how they make decisions, what shapes their behaviour, whose voices are heard, and what often goes unseen.

She believes design is a quiet force for dignity and change. It began with a simple observation: people’s lives are often shaped by systems that were never designed with them in mind. That belief has shaped her work ever since. She uses design to listen deeply, make the unseen visible, and create opportunities for people to have greater agency in shaping the systems that influence their everyday lives.

Her work spans Singapore and the wider Asia-Pacific region across public health, family wellbeing, justice, gender equity, social resilience and behaviour change. She has partnered with governments, international organisations, NGOs, and philanthropic foundations to influence behaviours, improve citizen and community experiences, design policies, programmes, and services, and enable lasting systems change.

Drawing on participatory research, facilitation, and co-design, Jervenne helps organisations understand the people behind the problem, uncover perspectives that are often overlooked, and build the shared understanding needed for meaningful change.

For Jervenne, co-design creates the conditions for people to contribute their knowledge, make sense of complex challenges together, and shape solutions they can genuinely own. She believes meaningful participation is not about reaching consensus, but about ensuring different perspectives are understood, valued, and reflected in the decisions that shape people’s futures.
