Working where narratives converge

Based in Cape Town, South Africa

With a background in Literary Theory and a practice shaped by both concept and craft, my work spans copywriting, editorial direction, visual storytelling, and creative strategy. I’m interested in the narrative architecture of things: how meaning takes shape through tone, texture, and intention. My approach is intuitive, conceptual, and idea-led.

Blending these worlds allows me to conceive work holistically: to write with a visual sensibility, to direct with narrative intention, and to photograph with an understanding of atmosphere and meaning. This integration enables cohesive, emotionally resonant storytelling.

My creative practice extends beyond traditional disciplinary boundaries. I’m drawn to working across mediums, valuing the creative and conceptual process inherent within these skills. I sew garments, create cyanotypes, build lighting objects incorporating my own pottery, and have conceptualised and hosted a pop-up dining experience. Whether working with text, image, object, space, or food, I approach each project as part of the same ongoing enquiry into narrative, materiality, and human experience.
