Hello
Welcome to my website.
I would love to share some of my different hats with you!
- Trauma Informed Design Consultant
- Social Design Community Organiser
- Teacher
- Social Entrepreneur
- Life Coach
- Video Artist
For the last 20 years I have worked as a designer, helping organisations deliver more human-centred services. For much of this time my work was located within diverse and complex contexts, such as disability, homelessness, mental health, and indigenous place-based programs. These days I mostly consult independently as Sticky Design Studio, offering Design Research, Human-centred design/co-design consulting and capacity building. See some of my design case-studies.
In 2013, I began a design community of practice called Social Design Sydney. Through it I host talks and trainings related to Social Design and Systems Change. The website has videos of over 70 diverse presentations.
I am very interested in inner development and trauma informed practice and teach trauma informed design research to organisations and practitioners. This training is designed for Designers, Co-designers and Researchers. I also work as a Sessional Lecturer at the University of Technology Sydney TD School teaching Creative Intelligence and Innovation.
School of Being is a recent initiative focused on ‘Seeding change from the inside out’ and ‘Restoring wellbeing within ourselves, our relations, our places and our living world’. The School of Being grows inner, relational and systemic capacity toward the transition to flourishing futures. We are cultivating a learning community to unlearn, learn, and restore well-being and reciprocity within ourselves, our relationships, and our natural world. We support the movement towards planetary flourishing by empowering people to see, sense, and think differently, enabling us to act differently, individually and collectively. We believe that developing resilience, agility, and creativity are essential for generating life-sustaining patterns that support this vital transition.
I am trained in Systemic Constellations and Systemic Coaching (working with Arnie Mindell’s Process Work). I offer one on one systemic constellations coaching sessions and in-person Nature Constellations.
I also play as a video artist and provide live improv video footage for live musicians.
