Our Board

Kim brings over three decades of experience across government, education, construction and nonprofit sectors, with a focus on strategic planning, governance and people- and place-led design. Based in Tasmania, she has worked on both the client and consultant sides of the building and construction industry, bringing a practical understanding of project delivery, stakeholder needs and long-term infrastructure planning.

In recent years, Kim has worked on a local government strategic plan review and helped lead master planning and capital works programs for both government and Catholic education systems in Tasmania, with a strong emphasis on placemaking in school environments.

Oren is a sound designer, audio engineer, and creative technologist with over 20 years’ experience across the arts, media, and museum sectors. Originally migrating to Australia from the Middle East, he is deeply committed to bridging divides through art, music, and respectful dialogue. After 12 years in Melbourne, he now lives in lutruwita/Tasmania, where he enjoys hiking, rock climbing, growing vegetables, and place‑based creative practice.

Passionate about using technology to foster connection, Oren explores the relationship between acoustic environments and collective wellbeing. He views the reduction of noise and sound saturation as a pillar of sustainability, advocating for sensory environments that are as balanced and resilient as the natural ecosystems around us. Through his work, he seeks to balance the use of technology with environmental awareness to support a healthier, more sustainable future for all Tasmanians.
