What I do
I’m passionate about the ocean, everything I do, in and out of work, is somewhat related to it. For the past few years, I’ve worked as a Creative Consultant in Design and Communications, helping marine conservation NGOs and initiatives elevate their branding and communications in a way that it truly represents the value and scale of their work. However, I’m always in the lookout for jobs and experiences that will take me away from my computer and bring me closer to the ocean and helping others create real-life ocean connections.
Here's a bit of what I like to do :)
