Short Bio
I am a lawyer, researcher, creative producer and cultural technologist, working to develop technological solutions in blockchain and tech to advance social impact, equity in governance and knowledge coordination.
My work bridges arts, technology and cultural productions across difference, to explore connections and the universality that binds us all. I am fascinated by the divergence of Web3 and blockchain tech with systems change across industries and cultures.
My goal is to create transformative change and deep equity, drawing on cultural and creative systems and technology to re-imagine, create, and connect.
With 25 years of experience in the creative sectors, I've worked in programme creation and management, music and arts production, capacity building, and cultural leadership training. My skills include creative process, artistic innovation, web3 strategic adoption, change and social impact management, co-design and pluriverse thinking, governance, and disruptive tech.
I love life, and believe the universe is indeed wound up inside us, waiting for us to dissolve back into it and actualise our true self.

Experience with the Civil Society
My career spans over two decades of work across civil society, international development, the creative industries, and emerging technology. I have led major programmes in New Zealand, UK, Asia and globally—working at the intersection of law, cultural diplomacy, and social impact—with a particular focus on equity, identity, and governance. My work blends grassroots advocacy with high-level strategy, contributing to initiatives in peacebuilding, governance, youth empowerment, and human rights. I have collaborated with NGOs, artists, governments, and technologists to create systems that are participatory, just, and future-facing. From advising on blockchain applications for social good, to producing intercultural projects that amplify marginalised voices, I am driven by a vision of the pluriverse: a world where diverse knowledge systems co-exist and thrive. I bring a rare capacity to connect cultural insight with strategic innovation—anchored in lawful rigour, creative process, and a deep commitment to collective liberation.
