Writer and director who nurtures the shared experience of the individual and amplifies the stories of communities.
Creatively, through my work, I craft honest, warm and funny narratives that deal with issues and complexities with sincerity and heart.
Influenced by my own working class childhood, where gender stereotypes were broke from the day I was born, I try to find the tenderness of masculinity and the fierceness of femininity, which flow through My writing. Fascinated by the othering of sections of society which I channel my own queerness through.
