I’ve been called a local government wonk, a design nerd, and “the TEDx guy.” In reality, I just like using my skills and experience to help non-profits and cities work better for and with young people. Whether that’s through political campaigns, event governance, or youth advocacy, I love connecting young people with the ideas and organisations that will help them to succeed. I’m a fierce believer in kaupapa Māori and te reo Māori, and am trying to live and advocate a decolonised and carbon-positive lifestyle.
