Kia ora,
I’m Sarah.

I design future-facing public learning and engagement that weaves people, place, and purpose—centering relationships, cultural integrity, and systems change across complex organisations and communities.

I’m passionate about learning that grows clarity, belonging, and collective wellbeing—grounded in the stories of this land and its people, environmental connection, ethical remembering and human creativity, from intimate workshops to national-scale institutions.

Take a look around and get in touch—I’d love to hear from you.
