fertile mind

panellist, new inventors

australian broadcasting corporation

2003-1 - 2010-1 · 7 yrs 1 mo

Seven inspiring years as panellist on ABC TV's New Inventors. The passionate stories of inventors from across Australia could be uplifting or heartbreaking. A thorough immersion role, in researching every human need in areas as diverse as renewable resources, earthquake proof housing, transport and water issues, sheep and fish farming, rat catching, kitchen efficiency, horseracing, milkshakes and mobiles. A wonderful experience with an exceptional team of panellists, producers, crew and researchers. Above all, a humbling reminder of what blood, sweat and tears (and sometimes the marriage, and the house) go into the making and marketing of an inventive or innovative product.
