about me

I live and work on Wurundjeri land (Naarm/Melbourne), and sometimes I go by Tree.My work spans across film, theatre, music, dance, and digital media — often switching between roles as a camera operator, editor, livestream technician, or producer. Predominantly working in the independent performing arts space, I’m drawn to stories that resist easy categorisation, people who speak in gestures, and spaces that hold both chaos and clarity.

video work

I capture performances and happenings in DIY spaces, black boxes, and open-air stages. I’ve been on over a hundred theatre productions, often juggling multi-camera setups.In editing, I spend hours weaving narratives from raw footage, whether live performances or documentary material. A collaborator once said I had the ability to “turn shits into gold” which feels like the highest compliment.

Highlight: The Flowering Tree

get in touch

I live, work, and create art on traditional land of the people of the Kulin Nation. I give my respect to the Elders of these traditional lands and to all First Nations people past, present and future.Always Was, Always Will Be Aboriginal Land.
