The people behind the practice
levo is powered by a dedicated team of sector leaders, developers, and design thinkers. From assessment tools to interface language, every aspect of levo has been developed with real-world complexity in mind — and tested by those who use it every day.
We bring together our experience across:
Primary and mental health, social services, education, and youth development
Practice systems design
Social sector data capture, reporting and governance
"levo wasn’t created by a tech firm or design studio. It was developed inside real services, by the people who needed a better way to track change, collaborate safely, and deliver meaningful care."
Raechel Osborne,
Founder of levo® and CEO of Kāpiti Youth Support
