A journey doesn't begin
with a plan.
It begins with
a moment.
This is mine.
In the space of one year, I lost both my biological parents as an eight-year-old boy I loved.
I was blessed with foster parents who gave me a good life. A real life. I was playful, curious, full of energy.
But I carried pain everywhere I went. Into every room. Every relationship. Every quiet moment. I didn't know how to put it down. So I started writing.
"For the first time, I felt like someone could hear what I was going through. Even if that someone was just the page."
In 2016, I got my first Android phone.
I didn't have a tripod. I didn't have a crew. I didn't have a script. I balanced the phone on a table and used my shoes to prop it up, and I made a short film about a depressed boy standing at the edge of his own life.
I knew that story. I had lived close to it.
"That was the moment I understood my purpose. Not just to tell stories. To tell the ones that need to be told."
From poetry to content writing. From marketing to photography. From videography to communications strategy. From practitioner to teacher.
By 2023, I was good at more things than I could explain in one sentence. And confused because of it. What was I, exactly? What was the thread?
Then it hit me. Everything I had ever done — every skill, every pivot, every project — had always been in service of one thing: a story.
Writing was storytelling. Photography was storytelling. Strategy, training, film, content — all of it was storytelling in a different form. I wasn't scattered. I was a storyteller.
The Mission
To tell the stories that matter.
I lead every project from that place. And when the work calls for it, I bring in a carefully chosen network of collaborators — photographers, editors, and communicators who share the same values.
What the journey has produced — since 2016
Contexts I've worked in
Organisations I've partnered with
Dignity Before Everything
Every story told honours the humanity of the people within it. Communities are never reduced to data points or poverty tropes. They are the protagonists, not the backdrop.
Clarity as a Form of Respect
Complex work can be communicated simply. My job is to make the invisible visible — without distorting, sensationalising, or flattening what's real.
A Story That Isn't Told Might As Well Not Exist
This is the belief at the centre of everything. It's why I do this work. And it's the reason I'm still on the journey.
If your work deserves to be seen, let's talk.
Whether you need field documentation, a communications strategy, or a long-term creative partner — I'd love to hear about your work.
