Get in Touch

Inspiring change for the better – now and for the future.

Sustainability isn’t just a trend — it’s becoming a vital part of our culture.

Across Australia, businesses, organisations, communities and households are actively seeking practical, meaningful ways to reduce their environmental impact and embrace more sustainable habits.

That’s where my clothing and fashion sustainability speaking services come in.

I make sustainability feel easy, achievable and even fun. Through inspiring presentations packed with practical ideas and real-life solutions that people can start using straight away.

Whether you’re hosting a corporate event, conference, community program or workplace initiative, I deliver engaging talks and interactive sessions that educate, empower and spark lasting change.

Why we should be talking about clothing sustainability?

The fashion industry is a major global pollutant, with fast fashion driving overproduction, textile waste, water consumption, environmental pollution, and carbon emissions.

In Australia alone, around 300,000 tonnes of clothing end up in landfill or are exported every year.  The average Australian purchases 56 new garments annually — the highest per capita rate in the world. It’s a problem we can no longer deny or ignore.

By empowering your team or community to rethink their relationship with clothing, you’re taking real action toward a more sustainable workplace culture, fostering habits that extend far beyond the workplace – now and well into the future!
