For over 25 years, I’ve lived the highs and lows of entrepreneurship, creativity, and personal growth. From selling my mother’s lemon meringue pies at 12 to starting three businesses – two of which failed – and growing a financial services business with over 2,000 clients and $500M in assets. My journey has been shaped by grit, innovation, and resilience.

But in 2018, burnout changed everything.

I sold my business, backpacked through 23 countries with my family, and pursued an Executive MBA. Along the way, I discovered the power of design thinking – a transformative approach that now defines my work.

Today, I coach leaders, founders, and teams to innovate and solve problems using human-centred design. My proudest achievement? Creating a digital system that empowers thousands of vulnerable young people to share their life stories.

I’m passionate about helping others create meaningful impact – because the best ideas are born from bold thinking and a deep desire to make a difference.
