What people say
Strategic design and content
Shoni consistently brings thoughtfulness and energy to her work, whether she's creating strategies that drive impact or crafting content that resonates with different audiences.
Sheʼs sharp - always having a view to the bigger picture while managing the details with care.
Andrew Apostola, CEO, Portable
Information architecture
Working with you on the Wheeler Centre website has elevated our content expertise and has helped us deliver an exceptional Information Architecture.
I valued your flexibility, not only to Potable’s needs, but the client’s changing priorities. Your experience speaks for itself, but it’s always great to work with contractor who just instantly feels part of the team.
Olivia Gregory, Lead Producer, Portable
Leading innovation and change
I appreciated your honest, transparent approach. It created trust from the get-go, and made me feel very comfortable collaborating and working with you.

Your vision and high-level strategic thinking stood out to me, especially with how you were able to lead the different initiatives we needed to action and tie them back to the bigger organisational strategy around digital transformation.
You have a very pragmatic, practical approach to working through things. I think it was super important in helping you navigate and lead the team through the various challenges encountered, in order to progress our tasks.
This strength also came up in team meetings, when issues were raised, you were able to logically break down the situation and come up with actionable, practical ways forward.
Dan Verschren, IT Business Partner, University of Tasmania
Human-centred design and communication
You're a very clear communicator. You present complex technical information in a straight forward way and tailor it to your audiences needs.
You're really creative, not just visually, but in your thought processes. I’ve learnt a great deal from you about how to improve our website and apply technology to communicate science.

Workshop design & facilitation
I have attended two of Shoni’s workshops on the development of mobile applications. Her presentation style is very clear and the hands-on components of the workshop show how organisations can leverage their in-house expertise to prototype and test a mobile app before investing in development.

Communication & policy design
I valued your clarity of communication, ability to switch from the big picture to the important details and to suggest next steps beyond the initial challenge we were discussing.
Your experience in developing policies and digital capabilities in an education context was of great benefit to developing our policies, guidelines and forms.

Human-centred design and technology
“Shoni is equally savvy about technology and people — able to speak about the digital world in a way that people can understand and engage with.
She provides, processes, ideas and solutions for businesses , organisations and causes looking to connect with their communities in a meaningful way.
In my work with Shoni, I’ve found her to be responsive, thorough and clear thinking, and I recommend her warmly.

Leading innovation and change
You don’t turn your back on the things that need changing, even if it means uncomfortable work. You push beyond the comfort zone of ‘this is just the way we do it’ and examine what we’re trying to achieve and whether we’re going about it the best way.
This is a particularly valuable quality as it saves on time and resources and ensure the team know their work is meaningful and purposeful.
Tess Crellin - Researcher and Digital Projects Officer, The Peter Underwood Centre for Educational Attainment, Hobart.
