I am a multidisciplinary strategist and editor operating at the intersection of design philosophy, academic research, and cultural production. With over a decade of experience shaping national design discourse and managing high-stakes editorial pipelines, I am currently transitioning from a successful portfolio career into a stable, full-time institutional role within the Melbourne design and research ecosystem. 

My profile is best understood through the concept of the 'Extreme T-Shaped' professional: deep theoretical expertise in research translation, Sustainment Theory, and strategic communications sits alongside a broad horizontal capability in facilitation, digital strategy, editorial operations, and cross-cultural engagement (Brown, 2010; Guest, 1991). That combination, grounded in genuine high-level interpersonal mastery, is precisely what Melbourne's leading design organisations are seeking in 2026. 

A defining thread throughout my career is the capacity to move fluidly between the academic and the applied, rendering specialist knowledge into language and formats that serve broader audiences. That skillset is perhaps most powerfully demonstrated by my collaboration with Professor Tony Fry — one of the world's most consequential design theorists and the originator of Redirective Practice, Sustainment Theory, and Defuturing — on manuscripts and strategic content for The Studio at the Edge of the World. Working at that level of theoretical rigour and making it broadly communicable is a rare capability, one I have exercised consistently across seemingly disparate registers, from editing for MDPI Sustainability to managing national discourse at AGDA. This research translation credential is among the most sought-after in Melbourne's current market, particularly across the public sector, research institutes, and social impact consultancies (NHMRC, 2022; Jobs and Skills Australia, 2025).
