I have severe Athetoid Cerebral Palsy - but as you'll see, I keep myself very busy! I would like to promote disability and make diversity a positive aspect on stage and screen. Feel free to take a look around, I post all my newest creative work and past projects here. I hope you will find something that sparks your interest...

Current Projects:

The Writer & Director - Discover how I became a writer/director, what motivates me and the challenges I face. Take a look at some of my pitches and read abstracts of my work.

The Creative Artist - Dive into my creative side, from performing to song-writing, as well as puppet development and designing a new directing toolkit (developed and created through a collaboration with RAWD) to enable me to direct effectively and efficiently in a theatre environment. Check out some of my other creative projects.

The Designer (Digital Art/Design) - Explore my playful, frivolous side through a variety of animations and designs.

All I can hope for is to continue to enjoy myself while I can - fulfilling more dreams and ambitions. My wish is to inspire other people with disabilities to achieve their full potential and to show everyone that there is more to them than meets the eye.
