Northcote Point,New Zealand

Summary

I’m a motivated and adaptable project professional with over 20 years of experience bringing structure, clarity, and calm to fast-paced, creative, and technical environments. While my background is rooted in telecommunications and digital delivery, I’m passionate about the intersection of design, people, and process. I thrive in collaborative spaces where creative ideas meet structured execution, and I love supporting teams to turn bold concepts into reality. Throughout my career, I’ve led cross-functional teams through high-impact projects—aligning priorities, managing schedules, and resources, and smoothing out the path so designers and innovators can focus on what they do best. Whether it’s navigating complexity or keeping momentum flowing, I bring a thoughtful and joyful approach to project coordination and delivery.
