CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

Born here, lived there, part this part that, ya get me?

I work as a visual communicator. Somehow trying to blur the lines between a graphic designer and a photojournalist/documentary photographer! My work is mainly focussed on social or humanitarian issues, and also a glance at curiosities or alternative societies / cultures.

Born in Manchester to a Polish and Lebanese set of parents. Grew up in West Africa for about 9years, and had an interesting 15month tryst with the Middle East.

I can often provide a good conversation, providing the company is mutually interesting, but enjoy the more spontaneous times in life too! Whether its a party / rave, or coffee and conversation on a balcony.

PHILOSOPHY

Word hard and be nice to people.
Compassion.
