I’m Lena — a community connector, creative thinker and strong believer in the power of inclusive spaces where people and ideas can thrive.

Born and raised in a diverse and welcoming community in Germany, I hold a deep appreciation for belonging, equity and human connection. These values are at the core of everything I do.

Creative expression has always been a part of my life and I believe the arts are powerful tools for connection and mental wellbeing. I take a holistic approach, recognising that strong communities are built not just through structure and strategy, but through storytelling, trust, and collaboration.

With a professional background in community development, psychology, and project management, I’ve worked across multicultural, mental health, research and local government settings- with a consistent emphasis on strengthening community engagement and local capacity.

Whether you are an individual, a grassroots group or an organisation, I’m here to support you in shaping bold ideas, building the right partnerships and delivering outcomes that truly matter — for people, place and purpose.

Let’s explore how we can work together.

My Approach

Flexible

I meet people where they are in their project journey and tailor my services to individual requirements.

Transparent

Commitment to honest and open communication about project work, how much it costs and where my limitations lie.

Collaborative

I see myself as a building block to the greater goal, sharing my expertise while valuing everyone else's contributions.

Reflective

Reflective practise that encompasses regular check-ins and proactive feedback for ongoing development.
