We’re delighted to welcome Alexandra “Lexie” Grüber-Pérez to shiftED’s board of trustees.
Lexie is a service designer and policy advisor who works across disciplines to make public systems work better for children and families. Over the past decade, she has shaped national child welfare reform strategy in the United States, supported agencies to redesign how families navigate housing and social care, and used design research to close the gap between policy and practice. Lexie holds a Master’s in Service Design from the Royal College of Art and brings a deep commitment to equity, systems change, and human-centred design.
“I believe every child deserves the chance to learn through joy, curiosity, and making. shiftED’s work is powerful because it gives students tools not just to build things but to believe in themselves. I’m proud to support a team that treats design as a way to unlock possibility.”
– Lexie Grüber-Pérez
We’re thrilled to have Lexie’s insight and experience supporting our mission to improve access to high quality, real world design and making experiences for children and young people.
