Photographer,
Film-maker
and Art Director
With education in media communication & industrial design I'm eager to bring forth, through photography and film-making, relateable stories centered on common human themes such as belonging.
‍
For community, culture & climate means that I understand how that cycle is tied together, and that is my strongest ally when creating media.

My focus when working is to use tools and techniques which support the group process, prepare the right conditions for ideas and make it easier to enable the team-effort in production; something I learned in design and are now bringing into film and photography.

I wanted to capture the beauty of the retreats on film but never found the right match. I was approached by Hanna and this is what came out of it; a little piece of visual poetry. I am so proud of this project and grateful to Hanna for helping us share this story with the world; It makes me believe in the good in humanity. The beauty of connection"
