Documentary Practice

As a writer, director, and producer, I create documentary work exploring ecological change, human resilience, and cultural transformation.

My films have screened internationally and received multiple awards, including Women & the Wind, Ecosphere, and The Laps: Tasmania. Across long-form documentary and expedition storytelling, I examine how narrative can expand public imagination around environmental responsibility and regeneration.

Alongside filmmaking, I mentor emerging storytellers and guide others in developing projects rooted in clarity, integrity, and place.

Research & Practice-Led Inquiry

My Master’s research investigates the question: How can regenerative creative practice be explored and illustrated through lived experience?

Working within a Creative Practice Research (CPR) framework, I treat creative practice itself as a mode of knowledge generation — where making becomes inquiry.

Situated in coastal Finistère, France, this inquiry unfolds through the development of Floating Stories Lab as a regenerative research platform. Rather than treating storytelling, citizen science, and fieldwork as outputs, I examine how they function as relational and embodied forms of environmental inquiry.

The outcome is a creative portfolio and reflective exegesis documenting regenerative creative practice in motion.

Floating Stories Lab

I am co-founder and president of the Floating Stories Lab (FSL), a French non-profit association (Association Loi 1901) and volunteer-led community building a 41ft Polynesian-inspired wooden catamaran as a research and storytelling vessel.

Conceived as a multidisciplinary platform, FSL works to make ocean knowledge more accessible by connecting communities, researchers, creatives, and policymakers. The vessel will serve as a collaborative base for research, storytelling, and community engagement in support of regenerative responses to ecological and social challenges.

Within FSL, I lead the EU-backed Regenerative Tides: Sailing for Solutions (ReTISS) initiative, a citizen science programme addressing marine pollution from end-of-life fiberglass vessels through community mapping, ecological sampling, and policy dialogue.

Personal

I am a mother of three and have lived much of my adult life between continents, working semi-nomadically across ocean environments.

Surfing, sailing, and long-form travel have shaped my understanding of place not as backdrop, but as teacher. These lived experiences now inform how I design immersive spaces where ocean, reflection, and creative practice unfold in relationship.

I now live in Bretagne, France, where ocean, family life, scholarship, and making converge.

Work With Me

I collaborate with institutions, researchers, and storytellers working at the intersection of environment and narrative, and I host small-group retreats and immersive gatherings for those seeking depth in their creative work.
