Why the magpie?
The Australian magpie is a familiar and deeply symbolic presence in our landscape — known not only for its striking appearance and unique song, but also for its strong connection to place, memory, and community.
Connection – Magpies form close-knit, lifelong social groups. Our events, whether joyful or reflective, are designed to bring people together in meaningful ways.
Voice – With one of the most distinctive and beautiful calls in the natural world, the magpie reminds us of the importance of expression- of honouring stories, sharing memories, and giving space to all voices.
Presence – Magpies return to the same territory year after year. In the same way, we aim to create grounded, thoughtful experiences that leave a lasting impression. Magpies are common in almost all of Australia, they’ve been a presence for all my life.
Versatility – From community markets to weddings, memorials to local festivals, each gathering is unique. The magpie’s adaptability mirrors our commitment to delivering events with care, sensitivity, and purpose.
Whether we are celebrating life, marking a milestone, or simply bringing neighbours together, the magpie stands as a quiet but powerful symbol of belonging, memory, and togetherness.
A Life Woven with Purpose, Creativity, and Connection
With a foundation built in service — as a proud veteran of the Royal Australian Air Force — I’ve carried forward values of discipline, teamwork, and integrity into every chapter of my life. My years in Human Resources have deepened that sense of purpose, grounding me in the importance of people: their stories, their growth, and the spaces we create for them to thrive.
After years away, I returned to the country, drawn by its open skies, grounded rhythm, and sense of belonging. Here, life feels more connected — to nature, to community, and to self.
I find balance through yoga, a practice that reminds me to breathe deeply, move mindfully, and listen inwardly. I express myself through painting, writing, and reading, creative outlets that allow for reflection, imagination, and storytelling. Growing and cooking my own food connects me to the earth and to the joy of simple, nourishing things — sharing meals, honouring the seasons, and living with intention.
Each part of my life may seem different on the surface, but they are deeply interconnected. Whether I’m planning an event, supporting others through change, tending a garden, or crafting words on a page, it’s all about the same thing: holding space for growth, expression, and connection.
My Vision
I envision a vibrant and connected community where people come together to share, create, and celebrate life’s meaningful moments. Like the magpie — grounded, social, and full of song — I honour tradition, embrace creativity, and thrive in spaces where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued. Whether through markets, celebrations, or quiet reflections, I am here to help build gatherings that leave lasting impressions and deepen the ties that bind us.
