With 20 years’ experience across Australasia, I’ve partnered with leading design studios and agencies to deliver work for not-for-profits, early stage start-ups, State and Federal Government, and ASX-listed organisations. I’ve also co-founded a studio, building and leading a multidisciplinary creative team across brand strategy, experience design, digital, and delivery.
I’m focused on shaping experiences and strategies that solve today’s challenges and anticipate the ones for tomorrow. I’m especially interested in the intersection of AI, emerging technologies, and human-centred innovation, and how they can create meaningful value for people and organisations.
What I’m doing now
Most recently, I have worked with Futurebrand Australia, leading the brand experience and innovation capability to ensure that brand strategy, design, and experiences that elevate key moments and create meaningful friction in a way that is aligned with the business's overarching goals and purpose. The opportunity is to not only influence organisations and businesses but also impact communities and individuals for the better.
