About me
In July 2014, I lost my fiancé, Naz, to suicide after his religious family rejected him for being gay. That devastating moment taught me the true power of storytelling - and its ability to change minds, open hearts, and save lives.
Since then, I’ve made it my mission to help 10,000 charities, B Corps, social impact teams, and funders turn their impact into stories that:
* Inspire positive change
* Win funding
* Prove results
Your audience is busy.
If you can’t show your impact clearly, they’ll move on - and you’ll miss opportunities that may never come again.
Too many organisations still:
Rely on stock imagery.
Fear looking “self-promotional.”
Run out of time before the story is told.
Don’t know how to brief a freelancer properly.
I used to think documenting your impact was vanity. It’s not. It’s trust.
And trust opens doors.
That’s where I come in.
I’m a social impact photographer, award-winning storyteller, and CEO of a national, multi-award-winning charity. Over the last decade, I’ve told 100+ stories across TV, media, and national campaigns - and I belong to many of the communities I serve.
Here’s how I can help you:
Impact Storytelling Kits
→ photos + written stories + assets designed to win funding, prove outcomes, and build trust.
Social Impact Storytelling Workshops
→ equip your team with skills and confidence to tell their stories.
Authentic Photography
→ dignity-led documentation of your initiatives, perfect for reports, campaigns, and stakeholders.
Ghostwriting
→ powerful impact stories for bids, socials, websites, reports, and fundraising campaigns.
