About me

I'm a climate change social scientist by training, turned photographer / filmmaker based in London. I trade under In Our Nature - a sustainable video and photo production company. Before co-founding ION, I worked for the University of Reading on a DFID-funded project - Future Climate For Africa - using narratives to construct water policy in cities across southern Africa. My focus has converged on exploring how the narratives we live by influence our relationship with nature and how these stories are ripe for renewal.
