I research and write about housing and ageing - theory, policy, industry and outcomes - and about culture and society. 

My PhD research explored how Australia's housing industry responds to an ageing population. I am interested in the way industries engage in the politics, problems, solutions, meanings and beliefs about what a 'good old age' is.


I also research community & culture, exploring meso-level groups and relations shaping beliefs and systems.

Alongside my research I am a strategic urban designer, and I work on long-term large-scale precinct development to support state policy. I previously worked in visualisation and creative technology practice, directing videos and digital applications to help explain urban change and infrastructure.

In both my research and my urban practice I translate complex projects and problems into clear ideas.
