Life is complicated. You don't have to do it alone.

The most valuable support isn't always visible. It's knowing that the details are being handled, that the follow-up has happened, that the project is moving forward, and that someone is paying attention.

Buck & Bunny provides trusted support, thoughtful coordination, and practical execution across the many responsibilities of modern living.

How We Help

  • Helping oversee the many details that come with running a home—from maintenance and organization to paperwork, repairs, seasonal projects, and household administration.

  • Whether it's a renovation, a special purchase, or a long-overdue to-do list, we help bring structure, coordination, and follow-through to the things that need doing.

  • Thoughtful support before, during, and after travel, including itineraries, reservations, transportation, home preparation, and making sure everything is ready when you return.

  • From contractors and landscapers to cleaners, pet services, and deliveries, we help coordinate appointments, manage communication, and keep projects moving.

  • Dinner parties, holiday gatherings, house guests, and special occasions. We help with planning, preparation, logistics, and the details that make hosting feel effortless and intentional.

  • Some projects need more than an extra pair of hands. They need someone who can think through the details, ask the right questions, identify the next steps, and help bring the whole thing together. From household decisions and special projects to major life logistics, we help turn good intentions into action.

For more than fifteen years, I've worked alongside diplomats, philanthropists, public figures, entrepreneurs, and nonprofit leaders—helping bring people together, manage projects, navigate competing priorities, and turn their ideas into action.

Originally from New Zealand, I spent a decade in Washington, DC serving as New Zealand's Cultural Attaché, creating connections across government, philanthropy, business, media, and the arts. Since then, I've worked alongside foundations, nonprofit organizations, public figures, and advocacy groups on issues ranging from global health and education to housing, mental health, civic engagement, and digital safety.

Along the way, I found myself drawn less to any particular industry and more to a certain kind of role — helping make things happen. Sometimes that meant bringing together the right people, sometimes coordinating a complex project, and sometimes just paying attention to the details others overlooked. The settings changed, but the work rarely did.

Buck & Bunny is an extension of that philosophy. It brings together everything I've learned from diplomacy, partnerships, philanthropy, hospitality, and relationship-building into a service designed to help people navigate the practical realities of modern life with a little more ease, confidence, and peace of mind.

A Few Things I've Had the Privilege to Help Bring To Life.

Over the past fifteen years, I've had the opportunity to work behind the scenes on diplomatic visits, cultural programs, major events, national campaigns, public-private partnerships, nonprofit initiatives, and brand launches.

While every project was different, the work was often the same — bringing people together and making ambitious things happen.

  • Convenings, stakeholder engagement, relationship building, diplomacy, hospitality, partnerships, and creating the conditions for meaningful connections.

  • Coordinating timelines, vendors, logistics, communications, production, and the many moving parts that sit behind successful outcomes.

  • Experience working alongside public figures, government leaders, philanthropies, nonprofits, brands, media organizations, and international partners.

  • Helping transform ideas into reality through thoughtful planning, practical execution, and persistent follow-through.

  • Many of the most rewarding projects I've worked on involved bringing together people who wouldn't normally find themselves in the same room. Different backgrounds, different perspectives, and different priorities. Understanding those differences—and finding shared interests within them.
