About me
A trained and proven video producer with 8 years of experience at a Soho-based production house.
Inspired by film, games and culture and with a degree in Journalism, I became a founding member of Upbeat Productions in 2010. I have produced engaging video content for digital media across the mediums of film, television and video games, managed complex shoots to strict timelines and worked on livestreams, short films and branded content. I’ve set and enforced production guidelines, on 3 different continents for major international brands, and I’ve brought my passion for digital media and entertainment with me
wherever I've been.
