As an artist and landscape architect, I am interested in how spatial and emotional dynamics shape the way we engage with materials and environments. I enjoy the storytelling of filmmaking and take influence from this in making and weaving visual narratives, reflecting personal lived experience to engage people in space and images.

Movement and play are also key in how I shape my work as they informed my relationship with urban spaces from an early age, allowing me to view the street as a site of physical expression and interaction.

I approach landscape through emotion and memory, always considering human scale and how we inhabit, remember, and feel space. By bringing these influences together, I aim to create immersive works that blur boundaries between disciplines and invite reflection on how we navigate and connect with the world around us.
