I left England when I was 25. I didn’t have a plan, but I knew I needed movement. I wanted to experience life outside the system I’d grown up in—to explore, work, learn, and maybe understand a bit more of the world.

 

I moved to Australia. Traveled through Asia. Picked up a camera and began documenting the places and people I met—not just as memories, but as a way to make sense of what I was seeing. That’s when I fell into filmmaking and photography. Not through school, but through obsession. Long days editing. Testing gear. Messing up. Learning.

 

I moved to Montreal and started my first video production business. Later, in Barcelona, I told love stories along the Costa Brava and worked with brands and agencies. In between, I became a scuba diver, a ski instructor, worked freelance gigs and small TV projects—letting curiosity lead me into new corners of the world.

 

Over time, I felt a stronger pull—toward projects that meant more than just visuals. I became drawn to stories that helped amplify underrepresented voices. With a growing interest in indigenous perspectives and cultural preservation, I left for Ecuador.

​

There, I began documenting indigenous resistance across the Amazon and the Andes. I filmed people, wildlife, belief systems—fragments of worlds I hadn’t seen before. These were the stories that cracked something open in me. They revealed how many alternate realities exist, how much there is to protect, and how storytelling can help bridge those divides.

 

I continued through Colombia, working with indigenous communities in the Sierra Nevada and southern páramos. I taught photography in schools. Took on freelance jobs—motorbike brands, NGOs, journalism. A larger documentary project eventually fell through, and around that time, I was offered a skill exchange that brought me to Bocas del Toro, Panama. I came to learn how to sail.

 

Bocas wasn’t part of the plan. But something about it stuck. I had the quiet sense this place could become my creative playground. So I stayed.

 

I began creating content for local businesses and quickly saw something deeper. Photo and video alone weren’t enough—too many businesses hadn’t yet figured out who they were, what they stood for, or how they wanted to communicate it. Without clarity of message, the visuals lacked depth. That’s when I started offering creative direction—helping clients develop not just how they look, but how they express themselves.

What I Do Now

 

Today, I run a full creative direction studio in Bocas del Toro—offering branding, photography, filmmaking, and learning experiences under one roof.

 

I work with:

 

• Business owners and entrepreneurs looking to shape their brand from the inside out

• NGOs and nonprofits who need thoughtful, grounded storytelling

• Curious creatives and learners exploring photography through immersive experiences

• And couples planning unforgettable proposals, trusting me to help design and capture something deeply personal

 

No matter the project, I bring the same approach: clarity, curiosity, and care.

 

Because my journey began with purpose, I’ve kept that thread alive. I created an Impact Fund where a portion of my local work supports indigenous and environmental storytelling. It’s a cycle. Clients invest in their own stories—and help support others that deserve to be heard.

 

So all of us can grow, together.

 

This is my story. Let’s tell yours.
