Our team

A brand specialist that has worked with brands at the highest levels across Aotearoa and Australia for over 30 years. Initially, a founding member of Brand By Voice in Wellington in 1987, today I continue to guide Voice as one of the regions most innovative and respected brand consultancies.

Our Auckland and Melbourne teams both specialise in the development of robust, insightful brand strategies and compelling execution. After all my years of working, I still find clarity, leadership and having someone on their side, is what businesses are looking for. Intuition too is important, as it helps to respond to the hectic pace of business these days, when its balanced by experience.

Although originally of British descent, through my upbringing and immediate whanau, I bring a unique perspective to biculturalism and a strong commitment to Te Ao Māori principles and our responsibility to Te Tiriti O Waitangi.
