About Shayna

Born in Toronto, Canada.
Living and playing in Melbourne, Australia.
Working everywhere the Internet takes me.

Creating space to support purpose-driven organisations.

My career in SEO and digital marketing began in 2006, but since exiting the world of full-time agency work in 2017, I’ve been a firm advocate for living with purpose and by design. To me, that means creating a life that delights and challenges you in equal measure.

In 2024, I diversified my career by moving client-side part time to be the Chief Marketing Officer of ethical safari operator Aperture Travel, which combines my love of nature, wildlife, travelling and marketing into an exciting and diversified role.
