Aug. 2021 - Mar. 2022Sydney, New South Wales, AustraliaThe current state of our world, and the mental health of it's inhabitants is in a vulnerable position. Those who are aware, and focused on maintaining their equilibrium and harmony. Those who are not will struggle through for the next few years, until they find their balance. These blends have been created for both - to maintain and to shift. bulse products marry the plant kingdom (essential oils), with the mineral kingdom (Herkimer Diamonds) and magnetic bio-resonance amplifier (Plasma GaNS) to shift imbalances in the body at a cellular level, to generate physical, mental and emotional energetic movement. Some words from our customers: ”OMG - so much energy. I've been more on top of things and in the zone in the last two weeks than the whole of lockdown. The spray and the roller have really helped me be more motivated working from home. Helped me progress my projects at work. I feel aligned." "I just wanted to let you know that my meditation sessions have really developed. I have been using the Cosmic Meditation roller and it is amazing! I have never been able to be so focused! Thank you." ”I needed motivation, I was feeling apathetic. I got a LOT of energy from using it. It's definitely been effective. And yes, it was really powerful. Great smell too. You're really onto something here.” Nature will continue to astound us | IG @bulse_blends This business has been built, in all aspects - and is currently on hold.

Soma SocietyExecutive Creative Director

May. 2014 - May. 2015Sydney Area, AustraliaBrought on in a Partnerships/Business Development role with my primary focus on taking a TV Show, "The ExO", to market. Having never worked within the TV or Film industry the learning curve was steep and yet, I triumphed. Via my network, I sourced five key mentors (75 years of combined experience in the TV & Film industry), expanded my knowledge and understanding, and was able to get the TV show in front of some very big players; Netflix, Stan, Screentime, Freemantle, IMG, Universal Music and Spotify. I looked into further revenue streams for self production. We approached the Project Factory to create a shopping function of retail products used throughout episodes, to be accessible at the end of each show. Whilst the technology was there it was still in it's infancy and not yet possible. In the end, whilst everyone loved the developed pitch and concept, the script wasn't quite there. Whilst I was with Soma we also took over tenancy of a large space in Surry Hills and transformed it into a flexible workspace for creatives, that included an event space / photography studio. We held events there for the likes of Bertie Blackman and Skyscraper Stan, plus numerous photography and film shoots.
