I am a visual storyteller and communications professional with close to a decade of work spanning documentary film, feature productions, commercials, music videos, and live broadcast. My career began in 2015, behind a camera in a church, and what started as a simple act of service evolved quickly into a calling.

From there I moved into live productions and large-scale shows, learning to read an audience, build visual experiences in real time, and understand the rhythm and discipline that separates craft from accident. These early years set the foundation for everything that followed.

As my work expanded, I took on television and film, contributing to broadcast productions and short-form series while developing my own voice as a storyteller. This led me to the MultiChoice Talent Factory in Southern Africa, where I completed an intensive 11-month program in film and television production, and a Short-Form Storytelling workshop with the New York Film Academy.

Alongside creative work, I have built and managed social media platforms for organisations and brands, developed content strategies, shaped brand identities, and handled the kind of communications work that sits between creativity and strategy. I have directed campaigns that demanded both vision and precision.

Since 2024 I have been working with Mercy Ships aboard the Global Mercy, documenting surgical transformation, patient journeys, and the multicultural humanity of humanitarian healthcare. It demands ethical image-making, cultural sensitivity, and the ability to hold both the weight of suffering and the reality of hope within a single frame.

At the core of everything I do is one principle: to create work that is true.
