hi!
I’m Belinda - a creative founder, regenerative systems thinker, and deeply empathic human on a mission to reshape how we live, care, connect, and evolve.
In mid-2024, everything changed. The unexpected death of my father, in a flawed hospital system, cracked something open in me - a deep realignment of what truly matters. Around the same time, I walked away from a drawn out, uncertain investor buyout for my fashion tech company - a venture I’d poured a decade of grit, creativity, and determination into. That moment wasn’t a failure - it was a release. A turning point. A sacred pause that allowed me to honour what had been, and step fully into what’s next.
What followed was a total pivot - one that’s reshaping how I live, how I work, and what I build. I’ve reprioritised everything through the lens of legacy, purpose, and deep personal truth. I see now that my 30+ years in business, with all their highs, heartbreaks, and hard-won lessons, were simply preparing me for this chapter.
I’m passionate about telling it like it is - no sugar-coating, no spin. I’m also comfortable being vulnerable, because I believe honesty helps others feel less alone in their own journey. If sharing my stories helps even one person avoid the same mistakes (or as I like to say, learnings), then it’s worth it. This path is hard - but it’s also full of beauty, and absolutely worth it.
This space is a living reflection of that journey - the real, the raw, and the radically reimagined.
Thanks for being here.

A life's work
Building spaces, stories, and systems with heart.
Homes
Designing homes that feel like stories
I built my first home in 1994 at the age of 21 — long before Pinterest and prefab pods. Since then, we’ve completed four subdivisions, built and sold nine homes, and developed several blocks of land while raising a family. I’ve always loved creating spaces with soul, purpose, and a little something different.




Artwork
Painting to evoke, not just decorate
Painting is how I process emotion and express energy. I create abstract scenes filled with colour and feeling — moments that evoke memory, mood, and movement. I was mentored by award-winning Brisbane artist Beverley Tainton and held my first solo exhibition in 2018 at Percolator Gallery, Qld AU.

Tech
10+ years in tech, always human-first
Since 2011, I’ve created apps, digital products, and tech platforms that put people first. My work spans creative startups, user-centred design, and ecosystem thinking — always focused on building tools that make life simpler, more meaningful, and more beautiful.

Design & Publishing
A designer’s eye, a storyteller’s mind
I’ve spent 30+ years as a graphic designer and magazine art director, shaping layouts, publications, and brand stories that connect visually and emotionally. My background in editorial and print gives me a deep understanding of how design shapes perception — and how the smallest details make the biggest difference.
