I'm BOURBY
I use creativity to bring people together, solve problems and turn ambitious ideas into reality.
Creative Director
Arts & Culture Strategist
Speaker
Adviser
What do I do?
I create ideas that bring people together, shift thinking and make things happen.
My world is creativity, arts, culture and people. I began as a professional viola player, performing on stages around the world, before moving through business, entrepreneurship, leadership and major cultural projects.
Along the way I discovered something that now drives almost everything I do: creativity is not an optional extra. It is one of our most powerful tools for solving problems, building connection, creating identity and imagining a better future.
Today I work across arts, business, government, major events and communities. Sometimes I create extraordinary experiences. Sometimes I help organisations develop a creative vision or solve a difficult problem. Sometimes I speak, facilitate or advise. And sometimes I bring together the right people around an ambitious idea and help turn it into reality.
The common thread is always the same: think differently, connect people and turn possibility into action.
