Audience Growth Strategist

I am: a strategist and curator for cultural institutions, regional organisations, and place-based communities.

I love: deep research, meaningful stories, creative risk-taking, and making sourdough bread. Apparently my cinnamon and chai fruit loaf is better than Lakehouse.


I've worked with cultural institutions, regional organisations, and place-based communities.


Based in Daylesford, working across Australia.

Currently: Words in Winter, The Daylesford Foundation
Previously: Malthouse Theatre, Arts Centre Melbourne, The Jewish Indepedent

MY PHILOSOPHY

One size doesn’t fit all, but frameworks and agreed systems matter.



If you try to follow a cookie-cutter marketing rulebook, you’ll just blend into the background noise like everyone else. And in a crowded market, being "fine" is the same as being invisible.

Your organisation is special. Your community is unique. That’s why I don’t do tactical busywork or generic content calendars.


I build Strategic Architecture.


We start by finding the story only you can tell. Then, we install the frameworks and agreed systems to make sure that your stories reach the people who are looking for it. We find the "spark," we build the bridge, and we create a path to belonging that is yours alone.


Because the only way to stand out is to stop trying to fit in.

About Me

After two decades in senior roles at Arts Centre Melbourne, Malthouse Theatre, Melbourne International Arts Festival, Australian Centre for the Moving Image, and running my own artist and events agency, I’ve carved out a strategic growth process for working with a small roster of mission-led clients. Based in Daylesford, I bridge the gap between high-level institutional strategy and the "on-the-ground" reality of independent creative work and audience development.

People care about what you do. The question is who else should.

Most of the time, the problem isn’t the  quality of the work.

It’s that the right people aren’t seeing it, or not enough of them.

That’s the gap I help close.
