Craig is an independent consultant specialising in Environmental Communications and Equity and Inclusion. He runs CTF Consultancy, a Seychelles-based consulting firm that works with multi-sectoral stakeholders to deliver services in PR and Communications, Workforce Training, Youth Civic Engagement and Social Impact Monitoring and Evaluation. 

Craig has worked across a range of educational settings, conveying messages to diverse and underrepresented groups on key issues, including: Climate Adaptation, Conservation and Democratic Engagement. He has combined his experience in Project Management, Communications and Human-Centred Design to innovate Leadership and Democratic Engagement programmes for young people. He has also designed and co-ordinated messaging strategies in the media for national charities, both in Europe and Africa. 

Craig moved permanently to the Seychelles in 2016 to pursue his ambition of empowering under-served and marginalised communities in his home country. He co-founded SeyIT.tv, a free edutainment video platform that provides diverse faces in Seychelles with voices on the issues that matter to them. As a participant of the pioneering Aldabra Clean- Up Project, Craig and 10 other volunteers from Seychelles and the University of Oxford cleared the remote Aldabra Atoll – a UNESCO World Heritage Site once described by Sir David Attenborough as ‘one of the world’s greatest surviving natural treasures’ – of over 25 tonnes of marine debris during a five-week expedition.
