Penny is the Co-founder and Creative Director of Healthy Tasmania, a ‘for purpose’ company she runs with her sister Lucy Byrne.
After two very separate careers (and over a glass of wine), they created their multi-award-winning business Healthy Tasmania to solve common problems that often prevent communities and organisations from thriving. Together they support a range of organisations to create the change they want for their communities, but don’t know how to achieve.
