Miriam Doan is a visual storyteller and creative producer who hails from the Great Lakes region. Throughout her career as a photographer and producer, she has documented global healthcare initiatives to capture impact and inspire action. To begin work in her own community, she began an urban flower farm in Chicago, offering a one-mile bouquet to seasonal subscribers during the summer. Here, she discovered a love for capturing movement, connection, design, and color in the natural world. She continues her work in health care, while deepening her discovery of nature and our continual desire to rearrange it.
