About

I tell stories that leave a mark. Through a lens, a campaign, or a long-form documentary, my work has taken me from UN offices in New York to sailing expeditions across the Atlantic, from scaling a startup to $7M in revenue to directing content studios for global beauty brands. Rooted in brand strategy and photography, I work at the intersection of creativity and strategy across global corporations, startups, and international organisations. I am most at home where community, impact, and creative vision meet. Driven by curiosity and a passion for sailing, I approach every project with an explorer's mindset, confident that when work is done with purpose, a positive impact follows naturally.
