Research that listens before it speaks—where stories, symbols, and culture meet.

Many people want to understand culture but struggle to connect with research that feels distant, jargon-heavy, or disconnected from lived experience.
Through my ethnographic work, I explore how traditional knowledge—especially oral stories, visual symbols, and material culture—can be preserved, honoured, and made accessible through deep listening and storytelling.

With over a decade of fieldwork among communities like the Khomani San in the Kalahari and Amazigh artisans in Morocco, I document how memory and identity are passed down through thread, tattoo, and place. My research combines academic rigour with visual storytelling, using analogue photography, field notes, and participatory methods.

I invite you to explore my current projects, read field reflections, and follow the threads of meaning across borders and generations. Because when we listen to the stories the world is trying to tell, we change the way we see it—and ourselves.
