I bring over 30 years of experience in crowd dynamics and pedestrian movement, working on projects where deep insight into people flow and experience a space is key. My focus is on how the design and operations of city infrastructure can create more comfortable, efficient, and enriching environments for people. I’ve worked across transport, education, culture, and major events, applying data-driven insight to help shape the flow of people through complex spaces.

Previously, I was a Principal at Arup and led their Pedestrian Planning team across Australasia, led the consultancy arm of Legion (a specialist in pedestrian simulation software), and worked with British Rail in their acclaimed Operational Research unit. I’ve delivered movement strategies for major metro systems, award-winning stadiums, and large civic & cultural centres, always with a focus on comfort, performance, and long-term adaptability. My experience includes planning for major international events, including the Olympic and Commonwealth Games.

I’m the founder of Movissian, a consultancy dedicated to shaping Place and Movement in our cities. This is achieved through science - and always through a human-centred lens. My close collaboration with Humanics Collective is driven by our shared passion and values.

I’m continually fascinated by the way large crowds move through some of our biggest infrastructure spaces — and have spent literally days observing the dynamics and operations at train stations, venues and precincts. And if I go back through all the venues and stations I've helped design or analyse, and add up the number of people these venues and stations process in just one hour, it comes to over 1 million people!
