I am a multidisciplinary creative, campaign strategist and communications practitioner working at the intersection of storytelling, advocacy and public interest media. I turn serious research into documentaries, podcasts, art exhibitions and campaigns that people want to engage with, and I lead the teams that make them.
I work with organisations, foundations and cultural institutions that have important work to share, and take projects from first idea to public launch.
What I make
Documentaries and video
Short documentaries and video series, from research and scripting through direction, edit and distribution. I coordinate camera, sound and edit teams so you have one point of contact.
Podcasts and audio
Podcasts from concept to publication: format and series design, scripting, hosting, editing, sound mixing and launch. I’ve produced and hosted series for Open Secrets Radio and can build one for you.
Exhibitions, zines and live events
Public hearings, exhibitions, launches, panels and livestreams, with the creative direction and logistics handled together. I’ve curated exhibitions, edited and designed zines, and produced events from concept to evaluation.
Research-led campaigns
Campaign strategy and storytelling that start with your evidence: what you’ve found, who needs to hear it, and how to keep the pressure on after launch. I combine research, writing, design, digital and media planning into one coordinated campaign.

- We launch and review. I help get the work seen and report on what it achieved.
