Projects + Consulting.

This isn’t about ideas in isolation. It’s about shaping projects that can be delivered and sustained over time.

Every project is different, but typically sits between strategy, design, and delivery. Some organisations come with a clear goal – pursuing Dark Sky designation or developing a new tourism offer. Others are earlier in the process, exploring what’s possible.

I work with councils, destinations, and organisations to develop night-time tourism and dark sky projects that are practical, distinctive, and grounded in place. My role is to bring structure to that process: clarifying direction, identifying opportunities, and turning concepts into something real.

Work includes developing dark sky initiatives, designing night-time tourism experiences, and helping organisations respond to light at night. This might involve shaping a destination strategy, designing visitor programs, or working through how a place can use darkness to support both tourism and environment.

Projects are delivered on a consulting basis, with a clear scope and defined outcomes – from short, focused work through to longer-term project development – with the aim of moving beyond ideas into implementation.

“Turning the night into a tourism and place-based asset.”

Building sustainable dark sky destinations

My work connects tourism growth with environmental protection and industry leadership.

Tourism initiatives & travel experiences

Developing dark sky tourism initiatives across Australia, designing and leading local and international astronomy travel programs, and delivering immersive stargazing experiences that connect visitors with place, landscape and sky.

Light pollution strategy & protection

Reducing light pollution, strengthening responsible lighting practices, and guiding communities toward formal dark sky recognition to secure long-term environmental protection and sustainable tourism outcomes.

Community & industry collaboration

Partnering with councils, communities and tourism operators to design practical dark sky programs that balance conservation, visitor experience and regional growth for lasting regional benefit.

If you’re exploring a night-time tourism opportunity or dark sky project, the best place to start is a conversation. From there, we can define scope, priorities, and the most useful way forward.
