Hi, I’m Issy;

an Anthropologist, Innovator & visual creative focused on documenting the present, imagining the future and studying the past.

On this site, I aim to share my work focusing on the solutions that will take us into a radical new world, one filled with hope and possibility.

With a keen interest in the intersection between tech, human behaviour, policy and the environment, this portfolio explores a range of my innovation and visual portfolio as I continue working with companies and institutions focused on solving these large-scale issues.

I have always believed in the power of human ingenuity and the unique ability of people to shape their reality and find meaning in the world through their own creativity, imagination and stories.

If culture & policy can be impacted by narratives in the media, I aim to use my platform to share inspiring human stories and uplifting and innovative solutions to some of the world’s most pressing issues.

If more equitable societies are healthier and happier, how can we reach this goal? And how can we do this in a way that is healthy for the environment? By using the powerful mediums of communication and visual story-telling, I believe we can inspire, inform and uplift one another, creating a future in which all humans & the living world can thrive.

"The future is not something we enter. The future is something we create."
