About

I’m a former lab scientist turned filmmaker, science storyteller and creative director. My work focuses on making complex ideas—particularly around science, health, and sustainability—more accessible and engaging. I'm also interested in telling speculative science-based stories and am currently working on a narrative sci-fi short film with a biological theme.

In 2018, I founded Flowspark Media, an idea-driven, multi-platform media company and content studio.

In addition, we are developing a roster of original digital series and streaming projects.
