About Me

A social curator, I'm involved with projects with the potential for positive transformation.

I work at The Hikurangi Foundation, and my other work involves curating and designing The Kiwi Diary since 2004.

I try to fit in as much swimming, mt biking, cycling, great music, books, tramping, cooking with friends, harvesting good recipes, dreaming up new ideas and destinations, shooting the breeze, reflecting, and generally spending life around amazing inspiring people, as much as possible!

I believe we're all changemakers, and that every action we take, whether conscious or not, is a choice to support sustainability or not. So with every action no matter how small I try to think about what impact that action would have if 5 million people carried it out, like throwing out a plastic bottle - thanks to this guy: http://www.ted.com/talks/chris_jordan_pictures_some_shocking_stats.html.
