I’ve been accused of many things, but boring is not one of them.

Regardless of the medium, I’m known for clever writing that packs a punch, but leaves the reader wanting more.

‘The Future Bathroom’

Whitepaper

In 2025 I produced and wrote ‘The Future Bathroom’ Whitepaper, an annual review of international trend forecasts, economic shifts, and demographic research in collaboration with Nature Research & Insights. This is my happy place: transforming consumer data into captivating, human-led stories that illustrate a greater narrative. In the report, you’ll find my signature blend of iconography, graphics, and short vignettes that help build out a complex story of economy and industry with ease.

‘On Green Shoots’

Book

In 2025 I was featured in Rachel Maksimovic’s book, ‘Mothering On Our Own’. I was featured as the first story in the book, a privilege and an honour to set the tone for the many amazing stories shared.

‘After Dark’

Event Production & Panel Hosting

In 2025, I produced and hosted a new event for Reece Australia – After Dark, a panel-based event speaking to design forecasts, innovation, and international trends.

We took After Dark to Melbourne, Sydney, and the Gold Coast. Joining me on the panel were Tanya Buchanan (Editor, House & Garden Magazine), Andrea Lucena-Orr (Head of Colour & Communications, Dulux), and Anthea Leyden (Associate Director, Cox Architecture).

In addition to the event production and hosting, I designed and scripted the ‘Colour With Reece’ cards, designed for the architect and design community to keep on hand for quick and easy product reference.

‘The Art That’s Turning Data Into Feelings’

Long form article, ‘Scenario' Magazine, Copenhagen Institute of Future Studies.

I was a regular contributor to the Copenhagen Institute of Future Studies magazine, Scenario. One of my favourite pieces was on the concept of ‘data art’ — that is, scientists and multimedia artists turning big data into beautiful, evocative artworks.

Self Help(ed)

Podcast

My second podcast, Self Help(ed), is hosted with my long-time friend Tully Smyth. The premise is simple: we’ve done the therapy, so you don’t have to. Modern women are done with hiding. Divorce, infertility, fledgling careers, single parenthood - the so-called taboos of female ‘failure’ are quickly becoming our favourite topics. Why? Because we’ve all been there.

Under the glossy exterior of success, we’re all just trying to dodge the demands: be sexy, be smart, be brave, be a wife, be a mother, be a feminist, be fit, be fun… but don’t talk about it. We’re burning down the facade and telling it like it is. Self Help(ed) is where those stories live - unfiltered, hilarious, vulnerable and real. Each episode dives into the messiness of modern womanhood with honesty, humour and hindsight. It’s second-hand therapy, the space we wish we had during our hardest chapters… and now, it’s yours too.

Watch it, here.

Parentkind

Podcast

Each episode of Parentkind covers two incredible stories about parenting. As host, I unpack issues around body image, sex, cheating, abortion, the experience of being a transgender or disabled parent, and of course, love.

Some of the stories are weird and funny, while others are just heart-wrenching. But all of them unpack this vast and ancient thing that brought literally all of us into existence. They may be small stories of parents, but it’s one huge tale of Parentkind.

Listen to it, here.

Whether I am producing long-form academic content, snappy strategy decks, or chasing the elusive brand one-liner (come back here, you slippery eel!) I keep just one rule: don’t be boring. Boardroom or bus stop, if a reader is taking the time to engage with you — you best use that opportunity wisely.
