I work across design, movement, culture and community: building websites and brands, teaching dance, producing gatherings, and exploring how we might live and work together.
Some of these threads become businesses. Others become collaborations, experiments, or questions I'm still figuring out.
I came to all this sideways: from physics and philosophy, to climate change, to food activism and sustainability campaigns. Then, unexpectedly, swing dancing: a decade running Cape Town Swing, 1,500-odd classes, events big and small, and a crash course in what keeps a community going.
Some threads...
Culture & collective practice
Consulting • Facilitation
Helping teams and communities build the structures that let people work well together: codes of conduct, care and response processes, and cultures that match their stated values.
For organisations, events and communities that want to stay healthy as they grow.

Dance & movement
Teaching • Workshops
Solo jazz, Lindy hop and other Swing Era dances, through weekly classes, workshops and festival teaching.
Also available for private lessons and event bookings.

Digital design & branding
Websites • Brand identity
Websites, brand identities and digital strategy. From positioning to launch, built to be easy for you to maintain.
For projects with something to say: creative, curious, or built on values I share.
04
Events & creative projects
Production • Programming
Festivals, gatherings and participatory spaces that bring people together around music, dance and shared experience.
Planning something? I can help with production, logistics and programming.
