I build stories, strategies, and systems that turn insight into action.

My journey has taken me from law school in New Zealand to the MIT Media Lab; from creative agencies in New York to governance initiatives spanning six continents at the Tony Blair Institute. Throughout this global odyssey, one constant has emerged: a fascination with how systems connect, evolve ~ and sometimes break. And how we might design them to be more resilient.

I work at the intersection of culture, technology, and climate to help institutions – public and private – communicate what matters and build what lasts. From global campaigns to local resilience strategies, I translate complexity into culturally grounded, future-facing solutions.

Experience & Approach

Over the past decade, I’ve translated policy agendas, scientific breakthroughs, and education initiatives into transformative storytelling and strategic experiences, helping leading public, private, and third-sector organisations engage diverse global audiences.

I’ve led creative strategy and impact storytelling across six continents, synthesising local insight to shape global programs for partners in science, technology, and the arts. Whether working on smart cities, health equity, or climate resilience, I specialise in making the complex legible, actionable, and culturally resonant.

Current Focus

In 2023, I studied Smart Cities at the MIT Media Lab, focusing on emerging technologies and adaptive infrastructure for more inclusive, resilient urban systems. That work, combined with my global experience, revealed a critical gap between climate science and municipal fiscal strategy.

Climate adaptation is ultimately a challenge of translation ~ connecting technical insights to financial frameworks that shape real-world decisions. By bridging these domains, we can fundamentally shift how cities prepare for and respond to our changing environment.

Building on this, I’ve continued to learn in pursuit of systems change ~ exploring the long-term implications of AI through BlueDot Impact (inspired by 80,000 Hours), and now deepening my focus on city-led climate finance through Yale’s Urban Climate Leadership Program.

Systems Thinking

As a systems thinker with deep cross-sector fluency across government, culture, tech, and cities, I bring a unique perspective to challenges that cross traditional boundaries ~ helping to turn big ideas into strategic infrastructure for long-term impact.
