ABOUT ME

FOUNDER OF CALM NEST COLLECTIVE | SUSTAINABILITY & INCLUSION STRATEGIST | MENTOR | MENTAL WELL-BEING ADVOCATE

With over 11 years of experience in the events industry and a background in the corporate world, my work bridges creativity, strategy, and care.
Before stepping into events, I worked with multimillion-euro companies employing thousands of people, giving me firsthand insight into the pressures and complexities of corporate life. That experience shaped my understanding of what’s often missing: inclusive, human-first environments where people are truly supported.
Since then, I’ve designed festivals, advised global brands, mentored emerging professionals, and helped organizations rethink how we gather, lead, and work. From boardrooms to backstage, one thing has remained clear: People thrive when the spaces around them are designed with intention.

CALM NEST COLLECTIVE

Through Calm Nest Collective, I help organizations rethink how we gather, work, and design shared spaces, across events, workplaces, and public environments. We blend environmental, social, and cultural sustainability through a human-first lens, creating inclusive, low-impact spaces that support wellbeing and meaningful connection.

CALM NEST SPACES

A signature offering of Calm Nest Collective, Calm Nest Spaces are quiet, sensory-friendly rooms designed for events, workplaces, and public venues. These spaces offer attendees, employees, and visitors a calm retreat built for neuroinclusion, emotional regulation, and accessibility. Whether placed in a busy trade fair, an office, or a train station, they help reduce overwhelm, improve wellbeing, and create a deeper sense of safety and inclusion. Each space includes adaptive tools, sensory-friendly features, and thoughtful design choices tailored to the specific environment and its users.

HOLISTIC SUSTAINABILITY

Sustainability isn’t just about reducing ecological footprints, it’s about creating spaces that reflect values of diversity, equity, and inclusion while honoring cultural authenticity. My work focuses on:

• Designing inclusive and neurodiverse-friendly environments that support mental wellbeing and equal participation.
• Collaborating with communities to highlight local culture and traditions, fostering genuine connections and cultural exchange.
• Ensuring events are accessible and welcoming to all, with thoughtful, barrier-free design.

DRIVING THE CHANGE IN THE INDUSTRY

As a certified Mental Health First Aider (MHFAider®), Certified Nature Based Therapist, Carbon Literacy Professional, and Planet Positive Event Assessor, I combine technical expertise with a deep commitment to wellness and inclusivity.

In addition to event design, I am an industry speaker, moderator, and mentor, sharing knowledge to inspire sustainable change across the sector. My vision is to set new standards for the events industry – where environmental consciousness, cultural respect, and social impact are at the forefront.

MENTORING

Beyond consulting, I also offer personalised mentoring for individuals navigating change, burnout, career transitions, or identity in fast-paced environments.
I work with professionals across creative industries, the corporate sector, and the social impact space, including many who are neurodivergent or working in high-pressure roles.
My mentoring is grounded in real experience, trauma-informed practices, and calm presence. Whether it’s a one-off session or a longer journey, it’s always a space to slow down, reflect, and reconnect with your own rhythm.

LET’S BUILD BETTER EXPERIENCES, TOGETHER

Whether you’re planning a global conference, designing an employee wellbeing programme, or looking to transform a public space into something more inclusive, I’m here to help.

Let’s bring calm, care, and real impact into how we gather, work, and move through the world. Let’s create calmer, more connected, more meaningful spaces, one event, one space at a time.
