I’m an empathetic human communicator and collaborator. I speak English, Spanish, and French, plus some German and Japanese. And I bring cross-cultural experience living in my home of London, Tokyo, Buenos Aires, Berlin – and now Brussels.

I graduated in English Literature at Cambridge University. But prior to that I learned youth leadership through my teens. I ran a nationwide youth movement at 21, for thousands of youths. I then toured the UK giving workshops at schools for all ages and backgrounds, learning how to engage wildly diverse young people and spur them to action.

I wrote as journalist and brand copywriter, while editing prominent city magazines in Buenos Aires, Tokyo, and Berlin. Finding characters, stories, and talent became second nature. In Japan the national broadcaster NHK invited me on board to write, edit, and direct TV documentaries.

In parallel I have made my own films, starting with a documentary hunting for a rumoured Holocaust survivor on a remote island at the end of the world. My output includes narrative, music videos, video art, and documentaries, such as REOPENING, a Europe tour at the end of the first COVID lockdown, interviewing diverse people about borders and identity.

Back in London I delved more into brand work, as copywriter on briefs for top global brands like Lipton, Flora, Dove, and more. But when Brexit and Trump happened I decided to do more to boost humanity and empathy.

That’s why in Berlin I founded Good Point – an ethical storytelling agency helping changemakers boost impact. Visit Good Point here.

Art and empathy are key to moving hearts. A Berlin artist collective I set up united artists from all over the world – Palestine and Israel, Vietnam and Colombia, Germany and Turkey – to co-create stories about the living city.

Sharp, friendly, and seriously fun, I build powerful relationships quick, to help people and organisations find their electrifying stories. My watchwords are humanity and joy. My focus is faciltiation, workshops, performance, and coaching. Inquiries welcome!
