Thoughtful, practical sessions grounded in fit, customer understanding and lived experience, with clear takeaways and meaningful change for teams and audiences.

I speak to fashion teams, educators and professional audiences about clarity, decision-making and designing systems that genuinely work for customers, because when these choices are considered well, they shape trust, confidence and long-term brand sustainability.

Recent sessions include Melbourne Fashion Week, fashion education programs and leadership networks.

My Approach

I’m passionate about working with teams and audiences to understand why knowing your customer matters, listening to them, treating them with respect, and clearly communicating what they need, especially around fit and information.

When teams understand their customer and their “why,” they build trust faster, create better experiences, and ultimately support stronger, more sustainable businesses.

If you’re planning a keynote, talk or guest lecture and want practical insight with clear takeaways, I’d love to hear from you. Training and workshops are also available where deeper learning is needed.
