Description

I help organisations bring clarity, structure and momentum to digital projects, business systems and operational workflows.

With 30+ years of experience across technology, media, arts and creative industries, I combine technical understanding with real-world business leadership and hands-on project delivery.

My background spans technical project management, digital transformation, AI-assisted systems development, workflow automation, WordPress/PHP development, CRM and community platforms, digital communications and operational strategy. I have founded and managed multiple businesses and creative ventures, leading teams, building platforms and delivering projects from concept through to implementation.

I work particularly well at the intersection of business, technology and creativity — helping organisations improve systems, streamline operations, manage digital projects and implement practical solutions that support growth and engagement.

Recent work includes:

• AI-assisted workflow and automation systems

• WordPress and PHP/MySQL platform development

• CRM and community platform development

• Digital operations and process optimisation

• Content, communications and digital strategy

• Project and stakeholder coordination

• Creative and media sector initiatives

I am equally comfortable working strategically or hands-on and enjoy collaborating with organisations looking for thoughtful, adaptable and experienced support across digital, operational and creative projects.
