The Person

Twenty years of wrestling with human systems and the uncomfortable questions inside them.

Masters in Psychology

My work sits at the intersection of depth psychology, existential philosophy, and complexity theory. Not because those are trendy words to stack on a LinkedIn headline, but because organisations are living psychological systems and most of our frameworks pretend they aren't.

I write, I consult, I mentor, I compose. Mostly I ask the questions that make people uncomfortable enough to actually change something.

"comfortable is a coffin"
The Ecosystem

Three Lenses, One Fracture

Each platform explores a different dimension of what it means to be human in systems

One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.
Carl Jung

THE DUMB
FRAMEWORK

Not an acronym designed to be clever. A lens for seeing what's actually happening in organisational life. The undercurrents everyone feels but nobody names.
D
Dynamics

The invisible power currents. Who influences whom. What shifts when the CEO walks in the room. The political architecture nobody drew.

U
Unknowing

What we don't know we don't know. The organisational blind spots. The assumptions treated as truth. The questions nobody's asking.

M
Meaning

Why people stay. Why they leave. The narrative gap between the strategy deck and what someone tells their partner at dinner.

B
Belonging

Not inclusion theatre. Actual belonging. The felt sense that you matter here, that your absence would leave a hole, not just a vacancy.

Sometimes the things that need saying don't fit in sentences. They need frequencies, tension, release.
