When I found myself depicting the Iraq War in ceramics, I knew something wasn't right.

I had returned to study for a second time. The first time I studied Politics. This time, I was back to become an artist but I was starting to realise it would be a lonely existence.  Also rather than look inside for creative inspiration, I wanted to be out in the world connecting with people and telling stories that mattered.

​

From landmine detecting rats in Mozambique, to Fijian fighters for hire, to restorative justice with a rapist in Belgium, I began pitching ideas to editors. I loved creating stories with sound and images & I was making a living (!) selling my reports to the BBC, CBC and Deutsche Welle.

​

Today, at the International Committee of the Red Cross, my job is to craft innovative stories to show the amazing work this organisation does on the frontline in war zones & its role in protecting the laws of war - so that even in the darkest of times, there is humanity.  

​

It began with filming missions in Burundian prisons, gang-controlled parts of Colombia, refugee camps in Jordan, the West Bank and post-typhoon Philippines.

​

Today beyond managing ICRC's YouTube channel, I focus on creative ways to tell stories using 360, multi-screen projections, illustration, animation and interactive storytelling.
