Summary
With a background in psychology, a degree in business communications, and an upbringing deeply rooted in environmental protection, my skills and interests sit at the intersection of human behaviour change and corporate sustainability.
Experienced in human-centred design, and two-time founder, I have spent a significant portion of my professional career understanding human problems and challenges to design better solutions, products and services.
I am also a passionate advocate for diversity and the significant positive role it can play in global and local development, socially and professionally.
