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: my 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 the significance of policy agendas, scientific breakthroughs, and education initiatives into transformative storytelling and experiences, helping high-profile public, private, and third-sector organisations communicate their missions to diverse, global audiences.
I've led creative strategy and impact storytelling across six continents, synthesising local insights to design and deliver global programs and campaigns for renowned partners in science, technology, and the arts. Whether it's a smart cities initiative, a health equity campaign, or a climate resilience program, I specialise in making the complex actionable, legible, and culturally resonant.
Current Focus
In 2023, I studied Smart Cities at the MIT Media Lab, where I focused on emerging technologies and adaptive infrastructure that support more inclusive, resilient urban systems. This experience, combined with my work across global cities and institutions, revealed a critical gap between climate science and municipal fiscal planning.
Climate adaptation is fundamentally a challenge of translation – connecting technical insights to financial frameworks that drive real-world decisions. By bridging these domains, we can transform how communities prepare for and respond to our changing environment.
Systems Thinking
As a systems thinker with deep cross-sector fluency in government, culture, tech, and cities, I bring a unique perspective to challenges that span traditional boundaries.
