With nearly 20 years of global experience spanning industry and academia, and a PhD from the University of Technology Sydney, I support leaders to embody regenerative approaches in their fashion-textile practices, businesses and organisations.
My work helps move the industry from extractive to regenerative—shifting systems at the root rather than applying band-aid fixes. Through my research, I've developed frameworks and methodologies that help brands integrate regenerative ecological principles into how they create, relate, and do business.
This means building thriving, reciprocal businesses grounded in care, reciprocity, and reverence—honouring people, place, the more-than-human world, and future generations. My approach weaves practical strategy with embodied & experiential practices, helping leaders integrate their full selves into their work without compromising wellbeing.
Services include strategic mentoring journeys, workshops and retreats, fashion-ecology immersions, academic collaborations, and speaking engagements.
This work is for visionaries and leaders ready to create and embody more beautiful worlds through their fashion-textile practices, communities, and culture.

The CULTURAL INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS INITIATIVE® is designed to be a worldwide movement supporting the recognition of Cultural Intellectual Property Rights® for craftspeople who are the custodians and transmitters of traditional garments, traditional designs and traditional manufacturing techniques.
This Initiative was born in April 2018 from the need to eliminate culturally appropriative behaviour in the fashion industry with a vision to create a system that nurtures, sustains and protects Traditional Knowledge (TK) and Traditional Cultural Expressions (TCEs).
The Initiative's mission is to act as a mediator in relationships between different stakeholders in the fashion and craft ecosystem, and to support Cultural Sustainability as a form of education and promotion of cultural heritage and Traditional Cultural Expressions (TCEs).
