and I build what comes next.

About

Former corporate lawyer. Eleven years in legal recruitment. I left to write about what the systems we built have cost us — and to build what gives it back.

Based in Brisbane, working alongside my husband Anthony. Four kids. The work and the life aren't separate.

Everything here — the books, the Academy, the agent systems — traces back to the same thesis: the most valuable thing you can be in the AI era is more fully human.

"The prescription creates demand for the diagnosis."
