Jade Tang-Taylor

Jade brings a diverse range of experience from Design, Community to the Social Impact consulting space across Aotearoa New Zealand. As a Strategic Designer, Facilitator, Innovator, Collaborator & Educator, Jade is deeply passionate about co-designing better futures, and leveraging Emerging Tech, specifically AI for good.

Jade’s career has been more of a squiggly line, than a straight line. With over 20+ years experience in the Tech + Design for Social Impact space, this particular social venture 'Simpact AI' brings together the different professional strands, challenges and opportunities she's personally experienced working with; in the community, philanthropic and public sectors. Jade has a strong desire to democratise AI for the community, voluntary and not-for-profit sectors to create impactful and equitable futures.

Alongside simpact AI, she proudly supports the amazing mahi across academyEX, ThinkPlace and Design Futures Aotearoa.
