About 

Sami is a creative director, filmmaker, photographer and curator based between Cornwall and London. Across these mediums, Sami’s work aims to capture and create moments of appreciation for the world around us and the communities who inhabit it; hoping to evoke compassion and create oppertunities for understanding through storytelling. Passionate about the outdoors, nature, sustainability and community, Sami’s projects continue to try to build hope and paths of progression for our collective futures. 

In 2019 she co-founded collective and platform BAESIANZ  alongside Sarah Khan and Roxanne Farahmand, which celebrates artists of Asian heritage from across the globe. In 2022 Baesianz teamed up with Nicole Chui to start Baesianz FC, a womens, trans and non-binary football team for those of Asian heritage in London, and finally, in 2023 Baesianz Adventure Club was born; a space where the Baesianz community are invited to explore the outdoors through adventure.
