  • I have a deep reverence for documentation and authentic storytelling.
    As a multi-disciplinary creative, my work is informed by the will to imagine alternative futures forged by collective care. My curiosity has cultivated a joy for archiving peoples' unique experiences into memorable narratives. From roaring laughter to fragile grief, our experiences shape our stories and our stories shape us
