Face to Face: the Art of Being Seen

About the Host

From Airwaves to Boardrooms to Canvas

My path has been anything but linear. I started in the arts – radio and creative work – before taking a detour into the corporate world. That detour lasted more than 20 years, taking me through IT operations, corporate training facilitation specializing in knowledge management, investing in startups and then co-founding a fintech company.

But creativity has a way of calling you back.

Now completing my Diploma of Visual Arts, I'm returning to my roots, but bringing everything I learned along the way. Those years in corporate environments weren't wasted; they taught me how teams actually work, how people learn best under pressure, and what makes professional development stick versus what gets forgotten by next Tuesday.
I understand the language of business because I've lived it. I know what it's like to sit in back-to-back meetings, to feel disconnected from colleagues you see every day, to crave something real and human in a world of KPIs and deliverables. And I know that the skills that make me effective in those boardrooms – clear communication, structured thinking, reading the room – are exactly what make creative facilitation powerful.
What excites me now is creating experiences where professionals truly see each other – not as job titles or Zoom squares, but as human beings worthy of attention and observation. When you sit face to face with a colleague and really look at them, something shifts. The exercise isn't about creating art; it's about creating presence, attention, and genuine connection.
In a world where we're constantly looking at screens, my sessions invite teams to look at each other. To notice. To be seen. To discover that when we slow down enough to really observe one another, we build the foundation for stronger collaboration, deeper trust, and more human workplaces.
