About

We empower multilingual families to create a sense of identity. At The Alma Collective I build connections between people. I run workshops, give talks, design books, magazines, newspapers, write articles, translate or rather transcreate, compose copy, and photograph life. I'm also our chief decision taker, develop products, build infrastructure, and publish interviews. The quickest way to see & read my works is to sign up to our mailing list: http://www.thealmacollective.com/sign-up. In the past, I've worked on projects for Siemens, C-Space, Virgin Atlantic, PRI, MAN group, Nintex, Bloomberg, and MCI. We all want families to connect and children to keep access to their heritage. Let's learn, grow and explore.
