Savannah Fishel is a service designer, researcher, and the author of Beyond the White Picket Fence: A Companion for Intergenerational Communal Living.
As a Churchill Fellow, she visited 54 intergenerational communal homes across Australia and the United States.
Through media appearances, political advocacy, and her blog, she explores how alternative housing models—such as cohousing, cooperatives, and social apartment blocks with wraparound support—can tackle contemporary challenges like loneliness, housing insecurity, and generational divides.
Savannah works as a Senior Innovation Consultant at Innovation Unit, where she leads projects addressing complex social issues across health, nature, connection and local economies
