AI Adoption and Enablement
Workflow Automation | Human-Centred Design | Capability Building
About
I help organisations understand where AI can create real value, redesign how work gets done and build useful tools that people can confidently use.
My approach combines a builder's mindset with a people-first perspective. I work alongside teams to map workflows, identify worthwhile opportunities and develop human-in-the-loop systems that make repeatable work faster while keeping professional judgement and accountability where they belong.
For more than 20 years, I have led digital delivery, developed teams and helped people turn unfamiliar technology into practical ways of working.
If your organisation is ready to move from isolated AI experiments to shared capability, let's talk.
Experience
At Humans First Collective, I help teams adopt AI through workflow discovery, practical enablement and human-in-the-loop tools.
At Sixheads, I have led more than 100 digital projects across healthcare, government, education and community sectors. At Shillington Education, I led international teams and built teaching capability across a six-campus network.
Across all of this work, the thread is the same: making technology useful, accessible and genuinely valuable to people.
Writing
My AI clone sounds just like me. That's the problem.
I built an AI version of my own voice. It worked almost too well.

I'm tired of AI project ideas that assume everyone wants to be a content creator!
I don't want to build an AI-powered content empire. I just want to learn AI by making something I actually care about, so I built a prompt to help.
