About me
All I wanted to do when I 'grew up' was travel, and experience this world through a a variety of lenses.
I've lived where my colleagues didn't have running water or shoes, let alone a vehicle or shopping malls, and I've lived where my friends earned more money than they could spend on SUV's, ATV's and holiday homes.
​
After 21 years travelling and living abroad in a multitude of different industries from youth and corporate education, to hospitality of cruise ships, ski resorts and remote oil & gas - I've seen my share of mass produced waste.
​
Somewhere between 13 years living in a Canadian national park, focusing my Project Management career on streamlining corporate process to reduce waste, and spending months in Mozambique with as many manta rays and whale sharks as people, I realised I needed my own project that could make a difference, starting in my heart.
After 21 years away, I moved back to Australia.
I was saddened by how far behind we were in environmentality and acceptance of sustainable practices.
A switch flipped for me, so I started to document my journey towards zero-waste, and connecting to a new network of inspirational people already on that track.
Skipping stones is the art of carefully selecting and skimming a stone across water.
The objective is to see how many times and how far your stone can travel.
​
Skipping Stones is about making choices, and being accountable for the impact they make. ​
It's about changing what's 'normal' to eliminate waste created by single-use consumer habits.
It's about finding new sustainable habits that send ripples towards something bigger than just you.
​
Skipping Stones offers options that make it easier for you to make better choices.

About
Skipping Stones
Skipping Stones aims to achieve a colossal cultural shift away from our unsustainable consumer habits by talking about the effect of waste and inspiring people to break away from ‘the way we’ve always done it’ to instead engage in and embrace choices that are sustainable for our health, our economy, and our environment.
​
Choices that skip the furthest, make the most valuable impacts and send the most positive ripples to achieve that cultural shift.
