Bio

National Geographic Explorer & Multimedia Storyteller focusing on people, place, and change.

Co-Founder, Suan Tian Stories (suantianstories.com)

I tell and share stories through the lens of human geography and cross-culturalism to help connect people to the planet and to one another.

Examples include:
- music videos made out of sounds from Taipei City's waste management system, - infographics on 7 Things You Need to Know About Plastics & Recycling,
- interactive photo and video story maps on an 800-mile bike journey down the Pacific Coast of the USA exploring the effects of climate change and COVID on coastal communities.
