MISSION STATEMENT

I believe media should inform and encourage us to assess our opinions, examine urgent issues from many perspectives, and encourage growth and participation towards a better world.  I create impact-driven films, interactive engagement experiences, and creative visual campaigns that communicate the environmental crisis in ways that harness optimism and imagination to build the world we so urgently need. In the pursuit of environmental justice, it is essential that we imagine a future worth changing for. Through multimedia storytelling, I want to empower individuals and communities to step into their power  and support people, places, and movements that they care about.
