From spark to stage: The creative journey

What truly sets script doctor apart is my dedication to seeing a project through, from its very inception to its triumphant final form. I thrive on building work from the ground up, diving deep into research, and meticulously developing concepts into polished productions and publications. This is where ideas flourish and stories find their voice, fully realised and ready for their audience, embodying the spirit of feminist storytelling and expanding narrative paradigms.
