Where All Threads Meet: A New Chapter in Creativity, Communication & Cultural Learning

After more than two decades of working internationally in education, cultural psychology, trauma-informed learning, and storytelling, I’m stepping into a new chapter—one that brings together all the threads of my professional life.

This chapter is not a reinvention. It’s a return. A full-circle moment that integrates my background in communication, my dedication to meaningful education, and my work as a writer, artist, and mentor.

I’ve had the privilege of working with university students, researchers, creatives, expats, and refugees across classrooms, workshops, publishing, and one-on-one sessions.

My work has always centered around one essential question:

How do we communicate knowledge in ways that resonate across backgrounds, intelligences, and cultures?

Today, that question lives at the heart of my work. I now run a creative consultancy and art studio that offers:

• A thriving online collage art shop

• Workshops on creative intelligence, cultural learning & communication

• A big, international blog exploring identity, learning, history, and art

• Branding & design services for educators, creatives, and thought leaders

My work blends visual storytelling with psychological insight, turning complexity into clarity and creativity into connection. It’s about making knowledge not only accessible—but memorable and human.

As an artist and educational psychologist, I’ve found that art, design, and storytelling are among the most powerful tools we have to engage, teach, and transform.

I now work between Australia and Europe including Scandinavia, and I’m opening up to new opportunities — especially in higher education, art-based learning, and cultural projects.

Whether you’re a creative, an educator, a researcher, or someone searching for more expressive ways to work and live, I’d love to connect. This is a space where art meets insight, where knowledge becomes story, and where ideas come alive.

Thank you for reading, and welcome to this new chapter.
