Something new is taking shape

I work at the intersection of impact measurement, international development, and creative storytelling – and i’m now stepping into a new chapter where these threads intentionally come together.

I’ve built 15 years of experience practicing Impact Measurement & Management (IMM) across the nonprofit, private and impact investment sectors. My work has taken me from designing environmental monitoring & management systems in environmental consultancy firms, to shaping IMM programs within impact investment organizations and philanthropic foundations.

These diverse experiences have given me a deep appreciation for what meaningful impact work looks like – and how challenging it can be to communicate it clearly. That’s what led to create Impact Inkspired: a part-time creative venture exploring how visuals can make complex impact concepts clearer, more engaging, and more human.

Impact Inkspired is currently in its exploration chapter. I’m spending this season building it in public: testing ideas, experimenting with formats, refining my voice, style, and the types of visuals – all with the intention of learning what resonates and what helps make impact concepts more accessible.

This site is a quiet preview of what’s coming, and a placeholder for a future portfolio and services.

Until then, follow along on LinkedIn here to see the work unfold in real time – and feel free to share your thoughts or feedback as part of this co-creative journey.
