ABOUT ME

I particularly like guides - I liked when someone I had met at a bar would scribble five places down for me on a napkin to check out the next day. Connecting people with places and cataloguing it on paper seemed like a comforting thought.

I spent years making guide books for people that were new to cities for this reason. I always felt I wanted that little piece of what I loved to be handed on to someone who needed it, help them find where they fitted in this new and confusing place. Over the past few years I’ve really converted this aspect of my work to video and photography, exploring how placemaking and community exploration can fit into this new format can be delivering value to people who interact with what I do.

Maps, guides and trails

My aim is always to understand what truly makes something amazing and hand this insight onto others in a way that makes them want to experience what I did. My chosen medium is maps, guides, and trails -- fastening interactive elements to my projects that make the reader or viewer feel completely connected to the process and their surroundings.

My work and collaborating

With a background on the tools as well as managing a team, I love the chance to give things crack on my own and thrive on the chance to develop and get my hands dirty with my own creative.

My work on and day-to-day basis is tethered to running a studio with a team of creatives as their director. I love this chance to explore what can be produced with a culmination of skill sets.

Video Media and Producing

There’s a story behind every person, place and moment. Some we use to draw inspiration, some we use to entertain us and some we use to learn about ourselves. 

For me presenting these in a video format is just bringing what I’ve always done into the current media formats people are looking for. Whether you find it on your feed, or watch it on the big screen it’s part of how we capture and captivate ourselves.
