Professor Cathy Treadaway

I am Professor of Creative Practice at Cardiff School of Art and Design, Cardiff Metropolitan University. I am also Research Director for HUG by LAUGH, a university spin out company that designs and manufactures playful and comforting products for people affected by dementia and cognitive impairment. I have a background in the visual arts and design and am also an experienced academic researcher. 

I have developed 'Compassionate Design' - a methodology for designing for people living with advanced dementia, which can be downloaded here:
