Venture Architect in Sydney, Australia

About

As a neo-generalist and advocate for the power of creative intelligence, I am a designer by trade, an artist at heart, and an entrepreneur and venture architect by choice. Driven by the pursuit of creating meaningful change which adds value.

Over the past 19 years, I’ve woven together a tapestry of diverse interests, fuelled by a deep appreciation for creativity in all its forms. A journey that has taken me through various creative roles, problem spaces, organisational structures, and industry sectors. These experiences have shaped who I am today, equipping me with pragmatic skills and a unique perspective.

Now, I am stepping out of the shadows to champion the understanding and application of creative intelligence. My focus is on the dynamics of change and growth and my goal is to bridge the divide and advocate for a new era of evolved creative leadership in our post-digital world—leadership that champions diversity, evolves skills and practices, and fosters innovative behaviours.
