Simon Goodrich is a design and innovation leader with over 20 years of experience at the intersection of human-centred design, digital transformation, and social impact. As Co-Founder of Portable, Simon has played a pivotal role in shaping the company’s design practice—bringing together service design, technology, and policy to reimagine how the justice system, government, and health services operate.

Simon’s design leadership has seen Portable become an internationally recognised agency for access to justice innovation, responsible for developing products like amica, a tool that helps people separate without lawyers, and Hear Me Out, one of the world’s first AI-powered legal self-help platforms. He is passionate about designing for inclusion, and Portable’s commitment to trauma-informed, ethically grounded design.

Simon’s approach is grounded in co-design and systems thinking, consistently advocating for design as a strategic lever in tackling complex policy challenges. Through partnerships with institutions such as Webby Awards, Stanford Legal Design Lab, and the National Center for State Courts, Simon has positioned Portable as a global contributor to justice reform and civic innovation.
