Background

Dr Lorraine Marshalsey is a senior academic, educator and internationally recognised interdisciplinary design researcher with over 16 years’ experience in higher education across Australia and the UK. She is a Senior Lecturer in Design and holds a PhD in Design (Education) from the Glasgow School of Art. Lorraine’s expertise spans design thinking, life centred and empathic design, design for health, sensory and experiential research, learning spaces, and environmental psychology. An expert qualitative researcher, she works with narrative inquiry, ethnography, phenomenography, sensory elicitation, embodied knowing and reflective enquiry to examine how environments, interactions and sensory conditions shape identity, behaviour, emotional experience and wellbeing. Her research is particularly focused on empathic, relationship centred design in health, palliative and aged care, trauma recovery and education. Lorraine has a strong publication record in design and education, including the monograph Sensory Affect, Learning Spaces and Design Education (2023), and serves as Associate Editor of the Q1 journal Review of Education. She has held senior leadership roles including Associate Professor, Academic Dean and Program Director, leading organisational change, staff development and cross disciplinary collaboration. Alongside her academic work, Lorraine is a fully trained Palliative Care Volunteer and No One Dies Alone Companion, bringing grounded, relational insight into care experiences and design led innovation in health and wellbeing.
