I’ve spent more than 25 years working in education, across teaching, technology, innovation, operations, strategy and organisational change.

Much of what I write about here comes from lived experience.

I began my career as an educator and musician, and over time my work has taken me into a range of different contexts and disciplines. Throughout that time, I’ve valued remaining connected to practice — to teaching, making, creating and working alongside the people affected by the decisions we make.

Those experiences have made me increasingly curious about what we can learn when we look beyond the boundaries of our own disciplines, and particularly what happens when ideas move into practice.

I’m interested in how we make choices, what we take for granted, why we do things the way we do, and whether there might be a better way.

Considered Practice is a place for me to explore those questions.

It’s a collection of observations, ideas and reflections drawn from experience, conversations and things I encounter along the way.
