Finance · Education · Thinking
I work at the intersection of financial rigour and human complexity, and I find that most interesting things live there.
I'm a finance professional with a background spanning financial control, internal audit and commercial finance, roles that have taught me to ask not just what the numbers say, but what they mean and for whom. It's a question that sounds simple and rarely is, which is probably why it's the one I keep coming back to.
That habit of pulling on simple-looking questions extends well beyond finance. I'm drawn to history, systems, identity, the way people make decisions under pressure, and the quiet places where those things overlap with the work I do. Finance gives me a framework for thinking rigorously. Everything else gives me something worth thinking rigorously about.
Running alongside all of this is an instinct toward teaching, toward finding the clearest, most honest way into a complex idea without making it smaller in the process. I've taught formally and informally across different contexts and have found that the instinct doesn't change much across them. It shapes how I write, how I explain, and what I choose to explore.

Ripple Finance
Too many people count themselves out of financial thinking before they have really begun. Ripple Finance is a vision for making financial thinking genuinely accessible, through stories, games, and formats that meet people where they are rather than where textbooks assume they should be. The lesson series is where the work begins publicly, an introduction to the kind of thinking Ripple Finance is being built to spread.

Platform Presence is a neurobranding consultancy working at the intersection of mind, identity, and professional presence. Drawing on research into how the brain shapes behaviour, it helps people think more clearly about who they are, what they are worth, and how they show up at work, online, and in the world.
