Creative Director
Freelance
March 2021 - Present
A multidisciplinary creative practice blending writing, film photography, videography, and music. Inspired by my love of the Earth and my extensive travel across land and sea, my work is lived-in, road-worn, corporeal, grounded– reflections on my internal landscapes shaped by wild terrain: from desert canyons to the open ocean. I craft immersive, and somatic narratives and curated experiences as diverse as the ecosystems I've trekked, bridging art and strategy to generate authentic, profound, and unforgettable stories and experiences.

Education
Stanford Doerr School of Sustainability
Earth Systems, Oceans, Atmosphere, and Climate, Earth Systems
2017 - 2024
A self-directed, well-resourced life experiment culminating in an interdisciplinary degree in Earth Systems. I studied ecology, earth science, natural history, climate change, environmental justice, and traditional ecological knowledge. My experience at Stanford was a quest for knowledge and lived experience both in data and in deep time–less a path to a degree than a multidimensional inquiry into how we relate to nature, spirit, and one another.
