I am a Latvian-born, London-based documentary storyteller and visual artist. With an academic background in photography, journalism and media, I work across a wide range of creative platforms, choosing the most suitable mediums to tell the story.
Both my visual and written work has appeared in numerous national and international publications and has been exhibited in the UK and abroad.
