I'm a strategist, author, and framework builder working at the intersection of learning, culture, and place. I work with boards, executive teams, architects, and organisational leaders — facilitating transformation projects, including strategy and master planning, through a design lens, across Australia and internationally.
For over a decade I led development and innovation at one of Australia's most watched school transformation projects, hosting educators and leaders from around the world and leading international study tours of the most innovative learning environments in Europe and beyond. That work convinced me of something I've tested ever since: vision, culture, and the built environment either reinforce each other — or quietly undermine each other.
In 2025 I wrote School by Design: A Field Guide to Transforming Learning, Culture and Place, drawing on my PhD in Education from the University of Melbourne and decades of practice.
