I am a Writer, Creative Director and Female Brand and Culture specialist with 15+ years helping brands turn complexity into bold human stories that inspire action and cultural change. Skilled across strategy, creative development, visual concepting, storytelling and production — I enjoy being close to both the thinking and the making. I bring bold lateral adventurous thinking, curiosity, strong collaboration with leadership teams, and a passion for work that elevates representation, challenges outdated narratives and creates change. Recognised globally for work that shifts how people see the world. I am strongly visually led, and storytelling is my craft — currently shortlisted for the Australian Fiction Prize (2025) for my debut novel.
