I love digital communication and its role in commerce, education and society. I'm an experienced digital designer dedicated to working with people that are looking to improve the way their business operates online, or community organisations wanting to create change. I am particularly interested in issues of environmental & social sustainability and the circular economy.I've been involved in design for as long as I can remember. After working in both architecture & publishing, I created my own digital studio back in 2001 and for the last 20 years I've worked with hundreds of businesses to build online brands, blogs, stores, and community hubs. * I write about design.* I design and build innovative websites. * I advise business owners and community organisations on their digital strategy.I also live with a rare metabolic disorder called Fabry's disease. This has led me to being involved in public health advocacy through the wonderful people at Rare Disorders NZ, a charity of which I am currently the Chair. Rare Disorders NZ exists to support people (and their families and carers) that are living with a rare disorder (as many as 6% of the population.)Please reach out if you wish to connect about either my professional or community work.
