Video, audio, photography and design with a purpose.
Under my Cleverality brand, I produce video, audio, photography and design for nonprofit organisations and community projects. Projects include documentary films, community arts programmes and event promotion for organisations around the world.
I work from brief through final delivery, adapting each production to the organisation, audience and budget. Clients and collaborators include St. Catherine’s Social Services Centre, Pure Thinking Group, Cuan Mhuire, Gracious Living Foundation India and the Netherlands Institute for Multiparty Democracy.
