About

I am a creator who develops communication and design solutions with purpose.

I develop and deliver innovative creative communication and design solutions that help people achieve their purpose. My expertise is in International Development in the Asia Pacific region. My goal is to show the benefits of developing cultural and contextual communication strategic plans for development projects and programs that implemented human design thinking in their development and execution. I can create culturally appropriate and purposeful stakeholder and community engagement that build and strengthen relationships with all stakeholder and work towards sustainable project outcomes.

I am creatively curious. I revel in my journey of discovery, to explore what is core to the needs of the end user – people. People and what their needs are central in my ethos in development of communication and design solutions. I want to delve further and look beyond the data and the numbers in projects and programs. My mission is to find the narrative and story from people, communities, governments and nations and to understand their context in which to develop, ideate and deliver the best solutions.

My experience draws upon roles within international development, government, corporate business, media, advertising and design. My career spans across Australia, United Kingdom and the Pacific Region.
