About

I spent 23 years at Auckland Council — working across community development, social policy, organisational change, and the quiet, unglamorous work of making public institutions function for the people they serve.

Before that, I worked with the Swiss Development Corporation in India and in technology consulting — always at the intersection of systems and people.

I hold a Masters in Applied Psychology from the University of Delhi. My work has always been about understanding how groups actually change — not in theory, but in practice. How institutions develop. How communities build capacity. How technology can serve people rather than the other way around.

These days I paint — oils and watercolour. I sketch. I embroider. I cook. I write. The creative life isn’t separate from the professional one. It never was.

I live in Auckland, New Zealand.
