I am an Educator and Photographer with specific interest in ‘alive’ ways of perceiving and engaging with the natural world. My work is iterative and non-linear, and lies at the intersections of eco-philosophy, Indian aesthetics, experiential and reflective education and creative practice. Each discipline adds to my practice and offers me a method to design layered experiences that allow multiple entry points and ways of engagement.
Aside from education and photography, I also offer services in Communications and Brand Strategy, as a Creative Director.

Right Behind my House — workshop on Creative Exploration of a local landscape
Minding Your Business — toolkit for Career Conversations
Narrative Kitchen — toolkit for Narrative Discovery and looking in a landscape
A large part of my work prior to 2023 involved corporate branding and communication strategy. Select projects can be found here.
