I'm a London-based consultant with more than a decade's experience in working with media, technology and civil society in Europe, Asia, Africa and the Americas on initiatives that lead to better content, better campaigns, and better collaboration.
In the last five years, I have specialised in new media platforms focused on facilitating and supporting global south advocates and journalists to interact with global audiences, and to create more innovative and relevant content. Most recently, I have both contributed to and devised policy approaches that aim to incorporate human rights standards and safeguards into online platforms and other technologies for content creation and exchange.
If you're interested in getting in touch, by far the best way is via Email.

From 2007 to 2010 I worked at the human rights organisation WITNESS in New York, where I ran a human rights video-sharing site called the Hub. I also edited and wrote for the Hub blog, looking at human rights, advocacy and ubiquitous video in the Information Society. The 2006 pilot project for the Hub - a collaboration with Global Voices Online - was lucky enough to win a prize, and the Hub was recognised in the 2008 Netexplorateur Top 100.
Before that, I worked in the UK for Panos London, working with developing world media and NGOs to devise and manage innovative radio and new media projects, like AfricaVox (a G8 2005 blog and reporting project). Other than that, I've written and co-written a few reports and chapters on the relationship between broadcast content and the internet, both in the UK and in Eastern Africa (PDFs top right), spoken a bit on human rights and online video (video interviews below right), and done some writing on film, but not for ages, unfortunately. I have a personal blog which mostly carries the fruits of my web-harvesting, but occasionally has more considered posts, when time permits. |
