Kia ora!

I'm Terence Hikawai

Digital Equity Consultant

Goodall Cellular Systems Ltd.

I support organisations to design technology that creates opportunity, not barriers.

I am of Māori descent, and based in the UK. My background spans across education, communities, government, research, and policy. Advocating Māori digital interests, equity and outcomes.

I have a deep commitment to capability uplift and digital inclusion, to ensure that technology serves the community, not the other way around.

 

I believe that fair and accessible technology is a fundamental right for all. This is shaped by my lived experience — I know what it’s like when systems aren’t built for you.

I bridge the gap between people and the rapid evolution of technology. My approach ensures that digital solutions are not just accessible, but culturally resonant, fostering true inclusion and capability uplift for all communities.

From ethical AI frameworks to inclusive design systems, I provide the expertise needed to navigate the complexities of modern technology with integrity and purpose.
