Matthew specialises in engagement for changemakers. He is a creative facilitator and mentor who believes people can design solutions to almost any problem (as it’s more than likely we created it!). Matthew is passionate about collaborating with purposeful individuals and organisations to confront tough personal, social and economic challenges — while having as much fun as possible in the process. Matthew’s TEDx work is informed his roles as founder and principal of Ecocreative, as specialised engagement consultancy. He is also involved social enterprise, philanthropy and advocacy with Social Capital, the Awesome Foundation and Landscape Partnerships, an environmental NGO he co-founded several years ago.

Aside from my nearest and dearest, running, coffee and nature, I'm passionate about connecting ideas with values; there is nothing quite like the knowledge that your idea is so much better when it's shared with other people.

Creativity is a force of nature.

My TED story is one being told through meeting people whose ideas need a place and plenty of people. That's pretty much my take on 'event and experience' direction for TEDxAdelaide
