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. We work with internationally-recognized brands such as PBS, the American Chemical Society, Scientific American, Nature Journals and many others. In addition, we are developing a roster of original digital series and streaming projects.
