My creative practice combines my fascination with storytelling with my background in archaeology; utilising sound, the art of storytelling and creative writing to interrogate why we tell stories and what they can tell us about the tale-weaver and the audience. My experience in heritage inspired me to explore the materiality of objects and their role in shaping human life, and my love of stories led me to investigate how we can see this shown in myth and collective imagination.

I work in a co-creative and community led approach, especially collaborating with young people and marginalised or othered groups. Creativity is empowering and can assist with reclaiming narratives, nurture resilience and provide skills and confidence to communicate lived experiences to key stakeholders within their local or wider communities.

I run workshops which can combine field-recording walks, oral-history interviews, hands-on sound design and creative scriptwriting which give participants the technical confidence and narrative authority to shape how they and their communities can be heard.
