I am the founding director of Foundry and group director of its parent company, New Creative. Foundry is one of Australia’s most innovative education start-ups, developed to bridge the gap between conventional education pathways and industry outcomes within the creative fields. Foundry itself is part of New Creative - a collective of companies built around the disproportionate effect creativity has on the world.I have a strong passion and for both Tasmanian and regionally placed young creatives within it, and I have never been one to believe circumstance or geography should limit a person’s opportunity in life. My primary mandate is to help see the transformation of Tasmania into an attractive destination for creativity and design with the world’s best creative education, and to play a part in training these industry ready creatives into the global workforce.
