I work with arts organisations, local councils, state government bodies, funding agencies, and cultural institutions across Australia. My clients range from small regional arts organisations to large government agencies.

Common projects include reviewing and redesigning grants programs, developing strategic plans, creating new artist support initiatives, and improving internal systems to better serve the creative sector.

Every organisation is different, so I tailor my approach to your specific needs, capacity, and timeline.

Typical engagements include:

• Initial consultation to understand your needs and goals

• Research, analysis, and stakeholder consultation (where relevant)

• Development of recommendations, frameworks, or documentation

• Presentation and workshopping with your team or board

• Implementation support and training (if needed)

• Follow-up review and refinement

I work collaboratively, transparently, and with a focus on practical outcomes you can actually use.

I've spent over 13 years managing arts organisations, running major programs, and securing millions in funding and partnerships across Australia, Europe, and the US.

Highlights include managing a $2.5 million program serving artists and young people across NSW, developing and delivering multiple mentorship programs for councils and arts organisations, working at major theatre companies and venues internationally, and sitting on both sides of the grants table as an applicant, assessor, and program designer.

I bring strategic insight grounded in organisational psychology and real-world sector experience—I've done the work, not just studied it.

Commitment to equity: I design systems and policies that work for everyone, especially underrepresented artists and communities.

I've been on both sides of the table. I've written the grants, assessed the grants, designed the programs, managed the budgets, and dealt with the bureaucracy. That means I understand what actually works—not just what looks good in a strategy document.

I bring evidence-based practice from organizational psychology, but I translate it into plain language without corporate jargon. I focus on practical, implementable solutions that account for your actual capacity and resources. And I genuinely care about strengthening the creative sector—this isn't just consulting work, it's about building systems that serve artists and communities better.

I work on a project basis with fees tailored to scope, complexity, and your budget. Every engagement is different, so pricing depends on what you need.

After our initial conversation, I'll provide a clear proposal outlining the scope of work, deliverables, timeline, and fees. I'm transparent about costs upfront—no surprises.

For government and larger organisations, I can work within standard procurement processes. For smaller organisations with limited budgets, I'm happy to discuss what's feasible and prioritize the work that will have the most impact.
