Hi, I’m Bri!

I’m a filmmaker, creative director, and writer working across film, brands, and cultural projects.

My practice is shaped by an MFA in Contemporary Art: Art and Social Practice, where I focused on collaboration, ethics, and the role of values in creative work. I’m interested in building projects that feel intentional, grounded, and connected to people and place.

I grew up moving frequently, am mixed race, and live a global life. That perspective informs how I approach storytelling, community, and visual work. I’m drawn to projects that bridge people, perspectives, and ways of seeing.

I founded and direct Sea Together, a women’s surf platform that began as a print magazine distributed in over 20 countries and evolved into a digital and event-based space for storytelling, workshops, and retreats.

Today, I work across filmmaking, creative direction, and cultural strategy, developing visual and narrative work that sits between commercial, editorial, and experimental spaces.

If you’d like to collaborate, feel free to reach out.

Warmly,
Bri

Many of my experinces are rooted in connection to nature.
