How I work
I often work with clients before a project exists – at the point of feasibility, business case development, or early strategic alignment. This can mean helping an organisation determine whether change is needed at all, and what kind of workplace would actually support it.
Whether I'm working with an organisation before a project is defined or alongside a team already in motion, I meet clients where they are – bringing clarity, structure and strategic rigour to whatever stage the work is at.
What I do in practice
I work across feasibility, strategy, hybrid working, diagnostics, leadership alignment and change – at the moments when clarity matters most and decisions have the greatest consequence.
- –Executive visioning and leadership alignment
- –Organisational diagnostics and research
- –Feasibility, business case and decision support
- –Hybrid and ways of working strategy
- –Translating strategy into workplace requirements
- –Change and transformation support
"I bring the rigour of a psychologist, the commercial fluency of someone who has worked in complex environments for over a decade, and a commitment to outputs that are always clear, grounded and actionable."
Background
Over a decade of experience across corporate and construction environments, in senior strategy roles at global workplace design and construction firms – followed by independent consulting directly with organisations.
I understand not only how organisations work, but the commercial and strategic realities that shape their decisions. My practice is grounded in research as well as application, including a peer-reviewed publication in the Journal of Environmental Psychology (Elsevier).
