THE WONDERFUL PEOPLE AND PROJECTS
Corosonic Studio - Sound Explorer and Audio Adventurer SONIC LAB
We created a custom workshop to help Matt bring his technical and art based practice in one place. We designed a workshop bringing in three specialised facilitators - outcomes, business model, brand story, mindset foundation. We then created together copy and design for his new website. Along with a plan for connecting sales partners and colloorators.
Here's what Matt said about our time together.
I have been wanting to tell you how much the work we did together has impacted my current direction. Everything I’m doing now - this new music and performance, the residency in Samoa, it is a direct result of the sessions you hosted. From those sessions my entire outlook changed, and this now feels like a natural continuation of that work.
Every time I share something and people respond I just want to dive deeper and deeper into it, it feels brilliant and so exciting! I have a sketchbook full of session notes and insights on my desk, which I look through frequently and bring those lessons and learnings back to the front of my mind again, revisiting our sessions with a fresh perspective.
I’m so excited about this new direction I’m finding, it's dynamic and uncertain and new, and completely my own - this last thing is what you taught me to value the most. You’re amazing, and I appreciate you so much Serena.

Alanah - A young creative from Melbourne, Australia.
We workshoped with Alanah to transform her from unemployment to working as event coordinator.
I was mentored by Serena at a time when I felt stuck, uncertain, disconnected, and without clear direction in both my personal and professional life. She helped me release what no longer served me and identify the internal blocks that were holding me back.
Serena was a mirror for me, reflecting back my unconscious patterns and tendencies in a respectful, transparent, and deeply empowering way. She prepared me, shared her own experience knowledge and helped guide me with what I needed. We clarified, refined and changed to allow who I am and my creativity to shine.
Every step of the way Serena encouraged me to take a step beyond my comfort zone, stepping into new experiences. I always felt validated and safe to share openly in our calls. We celebrated progress together, so I never felt alone in the process.
Most importantly, Serena believed in me and through that, I learned how to truly see myself and believe in myself again. I’ve grown into more of an adult who feels grounded, confident, and fully myself. I’m now moving forward with clarity and excitement.

LIFEWISE - THE BIG SLEEP OUT
Serena designed for Lifewise New Zealand a campaign to engage in the experience of the celebrities who slept rough during the Sleep rough event, to raise funds for the homeless. The campaign resulted in video logs and photos of the participants experiences during the campaign, including, preparation and donation journey. This gave an intimately authentic series of stories never before shared, inspiring this wonderful act of kindness. |
