About Change First Studio
Change is part of work.
People make it happen.
We help healthcare teams adopt technology and AI, and technology companies serving healthcare support their customers through change. We prepare people, emotionally and practically, and shape tools and ways of working around those who use them. Healthcare is our focus; we also work with teams in other sectors.
Our vision: A future where people help shape technological change, feel prepared to work with it, and benefit from tools designed around their needs.
People-centred change management.
Practical adoption support. Useful learning.

Making sense of change.
Helping people move forward.
I’ve always loved making things simpler, better and easier to understand. That matters most when a situation feels chaotic and people need a clear way forward.
My career began as a combat paramedic and continued through frontline paramedicine into healthcare leadership. Those experiences shaped how I work: stay calm, understand what matters, build trust and help people act with confidence.
Across my professional healthcare career, I’ve led teams, helped build new care services and introduced better ways of working across community care, virtual care and hospital operations. Those roles are distinct from my consulting client work. I’ve worked through change from the perspective of the people delivering it and the leaders responsible for making it work.
Today, I bring that experience to Change First Studio through teaching, facilitation and consulting. I help leaders make clear decisions and teams build the skills, confidence and practical habits to move forward. That might mean adopting AI, improving a process or leading people through a new direction.
The starting point is always the same: understand the people, the work and what needs to improve.
Change First. Technology Second.

Prepare the people.
Make technology work for them.
I’ve worked with teams across healthcare, technology, and oil and gas, combining change management, people-centred leadership and practical AI learning. I also work with technology companies on the human side of adoption: understanding their users’ needs, preparing teams for change and shaping how the product fits everyday work. My workshops turn those principles into practical action. Teams map what’s changing, work through concerns and build a plan together. Whether I’m working with an organization introducing technology or the company developing it, my focus is the same: prepare the people and make the technology work for them.
