I am part of the team organising the first Australian Social Innovation Camp. I have worked in the areas of online community engagement for a number of years and with people from all over the world. The projects I have been involved in have taken me to some of the most remote areas of the world where I have been able to learn more about the differences that still exist in our world. I decided to concentrate my working life looking for ways to connect people that want to help others. I am very excited seeing how the interest in social innovations continues growing in Australia and around the world

I have over ten years experience as a graphic designer/design educator. I have just started "Old School", which is a response to what what I view as the over-commercialization and drive for profit of the current design school system. I am doing this via a progressive radical educational experiment which aspires to invest the experience of learning with joy and wonder when students discover the reward of personally affecting change and touching audiences with your through the power of creating heartfelt design solutions that touch people's hearts.

My interest in social innovation arises from my experience as a consumer, parent, volunteer, user of services, and citizen. As a parent of three sons and user of services in health, education, disability, mental health, child and family support, social security, employment services and vocational training, I have experienced dysfunctional provider-centred bureaucracy-driven systems for the past twenty-five years. I am interested in social innovations that tackle this dysfunction and transfer information, power, and responsibility to individuals and families in their capacities as consumers, citizens, and authors of their own lives.

As a professional, I focus on information and communication as an enabler for development using technology as the tool. Through developing strategic partnerships with government, donors, business and academic institutions I believe we can achieve the best possible outcomes

Currently, as a Social Justice Officer in the Uniting Church in Australia, I engage in public speaking, prepare research papers and briefings for government, as well as develop a network of supporters through the provision of online fora and various campaign and education materials.
I am also the President of a small community legal centre (Social Security Rights Victoria) which focuses on social security. I am interested in finding ways to better distribute wealth and create employment in Victoria through strengthening and harnessing civil society in disadvantaged communities.
