Hello, I’m Lily! Weaver of stories, designer of transformational group experiences and instigator of powerful communities.

As a proud portfolio worker and generalist, you will find me working across a number of exciting projects as a storyteller, facilitator, and community manager.

The Weaver

Welcome to my corner of the internet where I celebrate all the threads I weave. I have a rich tapestry of past projects, skills and networks that make me uniquely positioned to support purpose led initiatives.

Collaboration, emergence, curiosity, empathy and creativity is the glue that holds together all I do. 

About Me

My Threads

storytelling

I work with folktales, myth and personal stories that help people understand themselves, each other, and the world around them; in-person, online, and in collaboration with organisations.

community
management

I build, manage, and grow digital communities, combining smart systems, clear strategy, and a human touch to turn passive audiences into active networks.

facilitation

I design and lead high-impact sessions that support clarity, connection, and growth; from strategic retreats to participatory workshops.

m a n i f e s t o

Connection is my calling. My approach is all about considered experiments; brainstorming around a vision, instigating active steps forward, then iterating and adapting based on feedback. From business accelerators to community groups, from start-up to immersive festivals and retreats, making a difference and making space for community is my gift.

❋ As an artist

As an artist I believe in creative expression as a transformational force. From sharing stories to immersive performances, when we witness each other, we are changed. 

❋ As an experience designer

As an experience designer I believe in the magic of bringing people together. Whether through group process or community, the moments where we gather have the potency to revolutionize.

❋ As a social entrepreneur

As a social entrepreneur I believe that business can be a force for good and delight in working with early and growth stage organizations to create meaningful moments of connection.
