“People want to consume better, so lets create products or services that help them do this”

My area of expertise, and the space I love to work in the most… is with emergent food ventures. We work collaboratively, using Food Design thinking and coaching methodologies to implement strategies which embed holistic sustainability and innovation into their product and business.

I am the New Zealand Ambassador for the global network FOOD DESIGN NATION so if you are a Food Creative please get in touch and we can talk food!!
