About
A bit about me
Based in Northland, NZ, I'm passionate about visual storytelling and capturing moments that matter through film and photography. I also design and build websites for local businesses and organisations, helping them show up online with sites that are clean, fast and easy to use.
I'm deeply committed to empowering youth in our community through my work with the Youth Advisory Board and Youth Action Group, while also co-directing the Northland Amateur Filmmakers Festival.
