Meet Will

I’m Will Pawa‑Oui, a Cultural Creative Producer & Strategist and the founder of Pawa Haus Creative. I work at the intersection of music, media, and community—building culturally safe, sustainable pathways for First Nations and BIPOC creatives, and for the organisations that work alongside them.

I’m proud of my Torres Strait Islander and German heritage and grounded in LGBTQIA+ advocacy. My lived experience of growing up “outside the box” has shaped how I lead and how I work. I believe culture is not an add‑on or aesthetic—it is knowledge, responsibility, and practice.

Through Pawa Haus Creative, I produce and curate cultural events, manage and support artists, play a keys and bass, I'm an emerging songwriter and producer, I also design and deliver education and training programs, and shape partnerships that centre culture, community, and wellbeing. My approach blends creative leadership with commercial clarity—ensuring projects are not only meaningful, but delivered with care, rigour, and sustainability.

My work is informed by over a decade across wellbeing and community services, which means I understand the importance of safety, trust, and systems that actually support people. Whether I’m working with an emerging artist, any organisation, my role is to hold culture, people, and process at the same time.

Pawa Haus Creative exists to uplift our communities, strengthen creative futures, and ensure culture is led with integrity—always.

Culture first. Community always. Creativity with purpose.
