Finding possibility in the spaces between
The organisation in practice
My questions about organisations grew from working inside bureaucracies. Across different roles, I kept seeing a gap between formal structures and how work moved day to day. People relied on routines, relationships and judgement to make the formal system work. Some constraints only became visible when conditions changed.
This left me curious about what organisations take for granted. I want to understand which structures are necessary, which are habits, what work happens out of sight and how institutions can notice change sooner.
A widening lens for perspectives
My career has been led more by curiosity than by a fixed destination. I began with built systems and planning, then moved through policy, regulation and emerging technology. Working inside government bureaucracies has drawn my attention to the friction and arbitrary constraints that shape how work gets done.
Over time, my focus shifted from the subject matter to the work around it and then to the work itself. I became curious about how people coordinate, how processes become taken for granted, where judgement sits and how established practice can change.
