Key responsibilites included directing the overall narrative and concept for the video. Crafting a storyline that integrates 3D renderings, drone footage, and interviews ensuring cohesion between diverse elements. Collaborated closely with stakeholders, funders, and clients to align with the project’s vision. Interviews were used to humanize the story and add emotional depth to the impact this project could have on communites and scientists today and in the future.
This video utilizes my multidiciplinary practice of drone operation, cinematography, sound engineering, and music composition to effectively translate and propose a complex construction project into a visually engaging and emotionally compelling narrative designed to raise millions of dollars for project funding.

The Floating Water Workshop: A Classroom on the River is the latest innovation in watershed education to sprout from Habithèque on behalf of the Fairmount Water Works interpretive center (FWW) and the Philadelphia Water Department. The Floating Water Workshop is envisioned as a 5,400 sq. ft. floating platform anchored on the Schuylkill River near the heart of Philadelphia—an educational asset for the city that will extend the work and mission of the Fairmount Water Works into the river, and into the hearts and minds of the public at large.
The Floating Water Workshop will serve as a collaborative lab and classroom, dedicated to environmental impact, pioneering research, education, advocacy and global leadership in sustainable urban watershed solutions. Designed as a floating classroom and innovative learning center, The Floating Water Workshop aims to fulfill a fundamental need for education centered on our natural waterways, lending a greater understanding of critical environmental issues through contemporary methods of learning and communications. Constructed with state-of-the-art, sustainable materials, this scientifically innovative learning center will become a prototypical model for water conservation and restoration strategies and renewable energy, while enhancing the aesthetics and natural environment of Philadelphia’s most iconic historic corridor.
