I’m passionate about living a life with less waste and less stuff, but more than that – I’m on a mission to help others do so too. I’ve listed some of the ways we can work together below. If you’ve got another suggestion, please get in touch – I would love to discuss your project.

I’d love to speak at your next event! My goal is to leave my audience feeling inspired to make changes, not overwhelmed and defeated before they even begin. That means sharing practical information, ‘how-to’s, and simple, actionable steps.
I’ve been giving talks and speaking about waste since 2013, from workplaces, stores, libraries, community events, festivals, schools, shopping centres and many places in between. From groups as intimate as 10 to as large as 1,700, I’m comfortable talking to a range of audiences and demographics. In October 2016 I was invited to the Tedx Perth stage to talk about living with less waste.
I focus on the positive changes that my audience can make, starting today.
A great way to learn is to actually “do”. Many of my talks can be extended to include a hands-on DIY component, such as making a simple skincare product. This gives participants the chance to experience the making process and ingredients first-hand, ask questions and feel more confident about developing your own skills at home.
DIY workshops are a risk-free approach to learn with others and gain a new skill, as well as a fun activity to participate in.
As well as combining talks with a DIY component, I also run more advanced DIY skincare workshops where you will have the opportunity to explore the ingredients, discover simple and easy-to-replicate recipes, and make a number of products to take home.
Its hard to fit any topic into a single presentation, which is why I also offer courses, where participants can learn over several sessions. Whether you’re looking for a longer ‘Living Smart’ sustainable living course, to a a shorter household waste reduction course, to something a little different, I’ve been running courses in Perth since 2013 and would love to discuss your needs.
All are based on adult learning and behaviour change principles, with a combination of presentation-style components, discussion time and hands-on activities.
The focus is giving participants new skills alongside increased awareness, the confidence to make changes in their own lives and in their community, and the passion to go out into the world and make a difference.
If you’re an ethical business with a passion and demonstrated commitment towards sustainability and social justice, and you’ve got an idea of how we might be able to work together in a meaningful way, I’d love to hear from you.
My priority is always my readers, and any collaboration will need to be relevant, useful and valuable to my audience.
Please note that I do not accept products in exchange for reviews or social media posts, nor do I share any Kickstarter or other crowdfunding campaigns (no matter how noble they might be) with my audience, so please save yourself time and refrain from asking. Oh, and before you offer, I really don’t need a bamboo toothbrush, reusable straw or ‘turtle-saving’ bracelet of any kind.
I love talking about living with less waste and steps towards sustainability with everyone who will listen! I’ve chatted on radio, been interviewed for print articles and online features, spoken on the news and appeared on TV and video in the name of spreading the less waste/less stuff message. If you’re looking for someone to talk about zero waste or plastic-free living, reducing food waste or living with less stuff, I’d love to speak with you.
