About Me

I am a photographer and writer exploring belief, memory, and cultural identity and how those things manifest in the material world. I’m interested in the small details, both natural and human-made, and the ways they hold meaning. My photography is often focused on colours and cultural details.

Originally from the UK, I first visited Asia as a student in the late 90s. Since then, I’ve lived in Japan for over fifteen years before moving to Singapore, where we’ve been since 2022. How I see the world has been shaped by both my British upbringing and adult life in Asia. Although my own beliefs have changed a lot over the last twenty-five years, I’ve always been interested in faith and ritual practice and how culture and place shape our experience of being human.

I hold an MA in Applied Linguistics and TESOL and previously taught English as a Foreign Language in China, Japan, Bosnia, and the UK. In 2024, I became a volunteer guide at the Asian Civilisations Museum in Singapore, where I both have the opportunity to deepen my knowledge of the diverse material cultures across Asia, but also to share this knowledge with visitors to the museum. I have a particular interest in Buddhist art and the indigenous art and culture of Southeast Asia’s diverse ethnic groups. 

I live in Singapore with my family, navigating life between languages and cultures, an ongoing negotiation that continues to shape my understanding of home.
