About

The story behind the storyteller

I create original stories for stage and screen that celebrate the richness of multicultural Australia. Drawing on my Malaysian-Indian heritage and Australian experience, my work blends humour, heart and authentic cultural storytelling to connect audiences across generations and communities.

“I direct the way I write — one honest line at a time, until the room goes quiet.”

Storytelling has always been at the heart of my life.

After a career spanning journalism, publishing and writing, I discovered my greatest passion lies in creating stories that come alive on stage and screen. As a writer, producer and director, I enjoy bringing together talented artists, organisations and communities to create productions that entertain while celebrating cultural diversity.

Growing up between cultures has given me a unique perspective on identity, family and belonging. These experiences shape much of my work, inspiring stories that honour cultural traditions while embracing contemporary Australian life.

Whether producing theatre, developing film projects or directing performers, my goal remains the same: to create stories that make audiences laugh, think and see the world through someone else’s eyes.
