I’m a creative all-rounder from Bathurst on Wiradyuri Country NSW Australia. I have a background in digital film, photography and art making, visual content creation, interdisciplinary research and visual anthropology.
I work across many fields including creative arts, advertising, digital media, science and education. I'm interested in working across disciplines and bridging gaps between them. I'm passionate about learning about and sharing the empirical understandings of individuals, communities, movements and organisations and how to harness the power of audiovisual media to (re)present these understandings.
I'm always keen to hear about new opportunities and collaborations so please don't hesitate to get in touch.
