Writer, researcher, creative consultant.

Introduction

My process is driven by research with a commitment to practice, that is, making things happen.

I love speaking with people, exploring conceptual frameworks and methods, deconstructing complex concepts and data, and finding ways to translate these into lucid insights and compelling narratives.

Approach

I enjoy diving deep into a subject along with the context it will be presented within to find the most effective means to present the research.

This can be within a beautifully designed report, a series of interviews, a lucid strategy document, an audio piece, interactive stories, films or images, an event or conference, exhibitions, or even building props.

FYI many years ago I used to build very involved and bizarre objects - such as pig pens or papier mache seals - that were shipped all around the world for PETA to use in their demos.
