No filters. No ego.
No algorithm in sight.
Perth Unfiltered was born from a simple idea: what if we created a space where people could drop the act and speak from the heart?
No scripts. No self-promotion. No “and then I became a CEO” endings.
Only honest, personal stories about being human - the messy, funny, heartbreaking, beautiful parts we usually keep to ourselves. The moments that shaped us, challenged us, or cracked us open. The stuff that doesn't always make it into polite conversation, but should.
Our events are intentionally designed to break the algorithm - no one feeding you content for clicks, conversions or hidden agendas. Just real people, sharing stories they’ve possibly never told before, in rooms where connection matters more than performance.
We’re not trying to teach lessons or build brands. We’re here for the kind of connection that happens when someone says something real, and the whole room resonates.
No filters. No ego. Just stories that stay with you.
Welcome to Perth Unfiltered. Are you in?
The Story Crew
It takes a village (crew) to create events worth going to.
We’re the five humans behind the scenes, bringing Perth Unfiltered to life. No egos, no agendas - just a shared love for stories that are honest, moving, and maybe a little unexpected.
Shil Shanghavi
Co-Founder and
Strict Timekeeper
Shil unashamedly loves telling people about the things he loves, and those things are instant coffee, house music, sneakers, Manchester United and wildlife.
He has a collection of incredible stories from amazing places around the world - when you see him, ask him about Kribi and New Orleans!
Kerrie Allen
Co-Founder and
Not Strict Enough
Kerrie is one of those people who’ll say “I’ve gotta go,” then get pulled into a great story… then another… and still be there 45 minutes later.
A creative at heart, she’s been known to cry at just about any live performance - out of pure joy and deep respect for the magic of someone sharing their talent.
Rutchi Kaushal
Content Queen and
Backup Timekeeper
Rutchi can taste a dish and tell you the story of its origin - then book a flight there the next day.
She’s the Spice Queen, a devoted traveller, a lover of stories (especially the juicy, heartfelt ones), and yes, she’ll also cry right alongside you if it’s a good one.
Tara Kozuh
Storyteller and
Ideas Icon
Tara will spot the quiet ones in the room and makes sure they’re heard - and maybe even dancing by the end of the night.
An advocate, storyteller, empath and ideas gal, she’ll go to great lengths to help others feel seen, included, and like they truly belong.
Paul Skewes
Storyteller and
Crowd Pleaser
Paul has a bottomless bank of wild stories - and somehow, each one is more unbelievable (and hilarious) than the last.
He’s sharp, witty, and always up for a conversation where you throw him a curveball just to see where it takes him.
