Delighted to share that two of my sketches will be in this exhibition - all proceeds go to a tree planting charity.

Being an #interpreter can be very challenging at times - the ability to negotiate words, sentences and meaning makes this job so complex… and fascinating! 🗣️🎧

Ethnographers: how do you visualize the networks of key/informants that you want to reach? Ideally I'd like something offline, visual, and tactile, but maybe without turning a wall in my house into something that looks like a violent crime investigation.
