storyteller for people & planet.

Hi, I’m Philippe! I tell solutions-focused stories about climate, culture, and communities.

I create videos, visual art, and written content for nonprofits and community based organizations.

I’m also an avid traveler, an improviser, a dad to three littles, and someone with far too many interests.

CHECK OUT MY WORK:

 

A Tanzanian community celebrates its efforts to revitalize ecosystems around Mount Kilimanjaro.

For years, I’ve been drawn to telling stories focused on justice and people creating change across different cultures and international borders.

My work has taken me to post-conflict Colombia, the brick kilns of Bangladesh, the hilltribes of Thailand, the coffee fields of Guatemala, the mountains of Tanzania, the ruta de mezcal in Oaxaca, the pine forest of Haiti, and beyond.

I’ve told stories through photography, through interviews, through writing, producing videos, or creating immersive multimedia experiences. Whatever it takes to connect people across the globe through the power of a story.

I’m currently seeking to do that for the biggest crisis of our generation: the climate crisis. Climate affects us all, but not evenly. The ones most vulnerable are rural communities in remote, disaster-prone areas in lower-income countries. Their stories must be heard.
