I hate chalk and talk and ‘click through’ boring learning solutions. Learning should never feel like something you’d rather avoid. I’m here to fix that. I’ve been there and done that when it comes to sitting through terrible learning experiences and I’m on a mission to fix what learning feels like everywhere.

I believe in ‘making the pie’ – and designing learning that’s active, hands-on, and as engaging as it is informative. I apply this principle to every project, creating experiences that captivate and empower. As a neurodiverse mother, artist, educator and pedagogy (science of teaching and learning) geek - I bring innovation and hyper-geek-attention-to-detail to every project that I am privileged to work on.

My Story

School was a challenge for me growing up; I was the kid who finished early, always looking for ways to entertain myself. After pursuing degrees in Art History and Philosophy, I entered secondary education, determined to break free from the ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach. Over 20 years later stepping into corporate, tertiary and secondary education as well as nationwide consultancy, I’m still driven by a commitment to create learning experiences where everyone can learn and find their own path.

With over 20 years in education, my journey includes:

• Secondary Education in English, Visual Arts, Art History, and Digital Technology.

• Corporate Learning Design in the NZ banking and for-purpose sectors.

• Higher Education as a postgraduate facilitator of the Postgraduate Certificate of Digital and Collaborative Learning at The Mind Lab (now Academy Ex).

• Curriculum Consulting for schools, businesses, and purpose-driven organisations.

• Business Consultancy for businesses who want to transform their education, training and compliance experiences.

What I Offer:

• Education Expertise – Research-informed learning design that delivers results.

• Creative Solutions – From visual storytelling to play-based, immersive learning experiences.

• Clear Communication – Jargon-free, effective content that drives understanding and engagement.

Core Services:

• Content Audits – Maximise engagement with neuro-inclusive, adaptable learning pathways.

• Learning Redesign – Revitalise outdated content with hands-on, modern approaches.

• Train-the-Trainer Programs – Empower educators with the skills to lead inclusively and impactfully.

• Workshop Design and Delivery – Custom, interactive workshops tailored to inspire and engage.

• Custom Resources & Digital Packs – Ready-to-use, accessible resources for immediate classroom use.

Values I Stand By:
My values are simple: I believe in learning experiences that ignite curiosity, adapt to individual needs, and inspire lifelong enthusiasm. I don’t do ‘death by PowerPoint,’ and I won’t settle for one-size-fits-all. If it looks like you could have bought it ‘off the shelf’ then I probably didn’t have anything to do with it.
