About

Descipher is about communication. You have a story – and Descipher has the tools to help you tell it.

I started Descipher in 2012 and have more than 13 years’ experience in producing creative and engaging web content, digital media and printed material. I specialise in making science and other complex information engaging for a general audience.

I love the challenge of translating technical subjects for the public and making things happen. I’m a natural communicator and ‘people person’. I have an honours degree in chemistry, a postgraduate diploma in heritage materials science and in 2021 studied Māori science and culture.
