When I was 6 years old I won a Kentucky Fried Chicken colouring competition and have been involved in Visual Communications ever since.
Am from New Zealand which I've always considered a very lucky place to be from. After completing a degree in Anthropolgy and some creative wanderings in film & design I set up a graphic design company: Meanest Indian in the Land and later started teaching design at university. Spent a few years in Hong Kong followed by India for a another couple of years teaching at the National Institute of Design (NID) followed by last year in Europe from where I dabbled in writing for the occasional publication, including Monocle magazine and the Guardian Weekly. Now back in New Zealand delving into all manner of things from communications strategy to research.
Am happiest when global roaming with my eyes wide open and my camera ready for action.
You can check out my explorations on the intersection of communication, culture and creativity at Random Specific.

"Meanest Indian has a wonderful knack through the skill of her camera for transporting me from the mundane world of my desk and computer into another world of rich and colorful sights and people. Thanks for inviting me into your world!"
