As CEO of Made Open, I lead our mission to build stronger, more connected communities through innovative technology. My journey with Made Open started 15 years ago, when I joined as a fresh-faced intern from my Product Design degree. Since then, I've helped shape our evolution from a service design agency into a pioneering community platform. It’s more than a job; it’s been my life’s work.

I’m passionate about using technology to empower people, making it simple, accessible and truly fit for purpose. My role is to set our strategic direction, foster innovation and ensure we stay true to our core values:

• Collaboration over contracts – We don’t just provide technology; we become a trusted partner.
• Mission first, business second – Social impact is at the heart of everything we do.
• Human-first design – Technology should enhance human connection, not replace it.

Working alongside our super-talented team of designers, developers and testers, I’m committed to continuously improving our platform, listening to our clients and ensuring we help communities thrive.

Outside of work, I love spending time outdoors with my young family. When I can squeeze it in, I enjoy playing basketball and with my energetic 1 and 2-year-olds already running rings around me, I might just be building the next great 3-on-3 team! Family means everything to me, and I hope that our work at Made Open continues to foster kinder, more resilient, and more connected communities for a better future.
