I'm usually happier than this. promise.

I am interested in people and places and the stories they have to tell. I listen deeply. I record sounds and voices, take pictures and walk.

I try and spotlight the overlooked. I put together a new story for people to experience - it might be through a performance, text, film, audio walk, installation - or whatever works. My previous work includes telling the stories of hospital wards, closed rural schools, football fans, friendship, climate change and snack bars.

I started my career with the BBC Capture Wales team, and that experience, and the phenomenal people I worked alongside, continues to shape my practice, ethics and my love of driving a white transit van. Here’s what they’re up to now: Daniel Meadows, Karen Lewis, Gilly Adams, Carwyn Evans, Huw Davies, (the original) Lisa Jones, Gareth Morlais, Mandy Rose - artists, mentors and friends.

From there I worked at the University of South Wales and was supported to study an MA in performance.

For ten years I worked under the name Storyworks on diverse projects and developed the story shop model and worked for and with excellent organisations and people - but then Covid hit and my brilliant sister died and, well, things fell apart. The company went into liquidation in February 2023 and I was so full of shame and grief that I wanted to hide. I tried to start again - I considered so many things and applied for jobs and courses…but in the end I realised that working with stories is fundamental to me.

I have slowly built up my confidence and resilience to want to show my face (and work) again. I am now working part time with the excellent team at Immersive Arts and WMC and also working regularly with Making Sense, Theatre Alibi, Clwydian Range Dee Valley AONB and the National Trust. I know that’s quite a lot of information, some would say too much…and if you got this far, well done! Here is an Animal Video.

I do speak and work in Welsh too, and I will make a version of this site in Welsh in the future.

I gave up social media a few years ago and I’m aware that makes connecting a little trickier, but honestly the space in my brain and day for watching snails and taking naps makes life so good. Feel free to ask me anything in an email.
