Services
Leadership, strategy and mentorship for purpose-led organisations.
I work with not-for-profits, social enterprises and the people who lead them in three ways: leadership, consulting and mentorship. Every engagement starts with a conversation, so we can shape the work around what you need.
01
Leadership
Interim and fractional cover through a gap or a transition.
02
Consulting
Strategy, co-design and growth, shaped with the people it affects.
03
Mentorship
Coaching for designers and design leaders at every stage.
01
Leadership
Someone steady in the seat.
For Boards and CEOs facing a leadership gap, a spin-out, a restructure or a period of change.
What it involves
Interim or fractional cover as Acting CEO, GM or COO. I steady the team, keep the Board informed, advise the executive through the transition and hand over a clear plan with a team ready to carry it.
Typical engagement
Three to twelve months, full-time or a set number of days a week.
In practice
As Acting CEO, I led YLab out of the Foundation for Young Australians, took its 2026 to 2029 strategy to Board approval and handed over to two young co-CEOs.
02
Consulting
Strategy shaped with the people it affects.
For organisations whose plan has run out, whose model needs to change, or who want their communities to have a real say.
Strategy and organisational reset
Multi-year strategy, theory of change and operating model, built with your team, Board and community.
Co-design and participation
Bringing together communities that see things differently, naming where power sits, and building your team’s capability to carry the practice forward.
Growth and partnerships
Diversifying funding across government, philanthropy and earned income, and building multi-year partnerships around shared outcomes.
Typical engagement
Six weeks to six months, scoped together.
In practice
For the eSafety Commissioner, I designed and ran an advisory group of 12 young people whose experience shaped regulatory recommendations and a national campaign.
03
Mentorship
Coaching for designers and design leaders.
I have led design teams since 2009 and helped many designers find their footing, step up into leadership or move across into new parts of the field.
Starting out
For students, graduates and young people breaking into the sector. Two sessions plus feedback on a portfolio or first applications.
Free, five places a year
Foundations
For newcomers in their first few years. Four sessions over two to three months, plus a portfolio and CV review.
Reduced rate for newcomers
Transition
For experienced designers moving into a new sector, into leadership or out of agency life. Four sessions plus a positioning and portfolio review.
Leadership
For design leads, heads of design and directors growing teams and influence. Six sessions over six months, with support between sessions.
Every package starts with a free conversation: 45 minutes in person in Victoria, or 30 minutes by video anywhere in Australia.
