Hi I’m Jade. I’m an artist, writer, designer, documentary filmmaker and creative director at Wander & Wonder Studio.
Over the past decade I have built my career creating and collaborating on documentary films for a global audience.
My work is focussed on positive, solutions-based storytelling and often collects around the themes of future solutions, indigenous wisdom, climate change solutions, the refugee experience, wildlife conservation, social justice & human rights.
At Wander & Wonder, we create treatments, storyboards, graphics, props, posters, concept artwork, and other digital media for film. We also develop and illustrate children books, graphic novels, and other educational content as well as produce, direct & design bespoke 2D animation sequences.
Below is a short clip from our debut animation sequence, a 5 minute story featured in the documentary short, Mother of the Forest: Curupira, I produced for Living Stories, on the WaterBear Network.
A little more about me.
I’ve worked for Netflix, BBC, Amazon, Sky, Smithsonian, HHMI and Youtube as well as independent production houses - Tailfeather, Shadow, Storyhunter, Arrow Media, RAWTV, Cinefromage, Talesmith, Waterbear Network, Passion Planet and Make Waves.
I was part of the story team behind the Youtube Originals feature 'The Letter' (2022), currently holding over 8 million views.
I am also the series producer of the multi-award-winning series ‘Living Stories’, currently hosted on the Waterbear Network.
In 2021 I relocated to Senegal to project manage a community restoration effort in collaboration with local NGO, Maison de la Gare (featured in ‘The Letter’), after devastating floods hit the town of Saint-Louis.
While in Senegal, I produced a sequence for the much-anticipated environmental feature doc, ‘Blue Carbon’ and directed our second Living Story, short film ‘Mame Coumba Bang’ (2022).
I now work remotely and with a growing international client base, am always open to new opportunities to connect and collaborate wherever in the world you are!
Other collaborative projects of note include the multi-award-winning 3 part series for PBS, ‘H20: The Molecule that made us’ (2019) and the Emmy-winning feature film ‘The Serengeti Rules’ (2018).
