Welcome
My whanau hail from distant lands. 
My ancestors arrived in Karamea & Greymouth, West Coast and in  Lyttelton, Christchurch and I hold these places dear.
Christchurch is my home. 

Welcome to my website - my name is Lyn Williams

    sustainable and aligned solution

I am committed to working collaboratively to explore perspectives, ideas and opportunities
