Jet’s professional career has been influenced by an adventure marked with determination and driven by a love for design focused on people, the planet and creating change. Raised on a Merino Stud in north west NSW, Jet acquired an appreciation for diligence and independence early on, taking inspiration from a line of strong women who had come before her. Jet has been active in the design and creative industry for over 30 years and has developed many services, products, spaces and places focusing on inclusivity, creativity, and purpose-driven initiatives. Throughout her career, across design-focused firms and various organisations, including creative agencies, government bodies, and management consultancies, Jet’s roles have enriched her knowledge base while reinforcing her conviction in the significance of creating thought-out experiences that resonate authentically with people, have social impact and are good for the planet. Jet believes that real success goes beyond results—it involves doing work that's meaningful on a personal level and has a lasting impact. Jet excels in settings that embrace agility and innovation, like design thinking and lean practices. However, her passion lies in tackling leadership challenges, such as fostering skills that lead to transformation. Recognised for her thinking and humanity-centric approach, Jet is talented in transforming concepts into practical solutions that are values-based and purpose-led. She unites individuals and encourages teamwork while embracing viewpoints—an attribute motivating teams to dream big and prioritise individuals and the environment. The beginning of an era led by Jet, who created the Affection Economy movement, will challenge conventional definitions of success. The Affection Economy represents Jet’s response to a society prioritising statistics over significance. It promotes the concept of "Return on Experience" (ROX), emphasising the importance of growth and fulfilment in a world focused on Return on Investment (ROI)—Jet advocates cultivating connections and urges businesses to prioritise relationships between people and the planet.Through the Affection Economy, Jet questions traditional achievement and success benchmarks and aims to demonstrate that a person’s differences do not hinder their ability to influence; instead, they are advantages that offer refinement and genuineness.
