Independent Writer,
Director & Producer

For over thirty years, my career has been driven by a singular quest: to find the human heartbeat in the most complex environments. From international documentary filmmaking to high-stakes corporate communications, I bring the same rigorous storytelling instinct to every project.

My documentary work — from remote ashrams in Southern India to the streets of Melbourne — has taken me to the edges of human experience. That same curiosity now drives an exciting slate of original narrative fiction currently in development.
