About

I started out in TV working on natural history documentaries. Now based in Argyll I have been working on inspiring stories of people working to protect the natural world. I run my business on a very low carbon footprint, using an electric vehicle and taking the train for longer journeys. I am passionate about telling stories that inspire action towards a more connected, just and joyful world.
