Put simply I'm a moving image creative and creator.
I build and lead creative production teams as a producer and creative director, as well as a hands-on filmmaker throughout the production process; writing, directing, shooting and editing.
I am an independent video producer and I mostly work on commercial, corporate and documentary projects.
I have worked in and around creative agencies for my whole career since starting out as a freelancer in 2007, then onto co-running the boutique creative shop Creative Cherry from 2011 - 2015. Cherry was acquired by London’s leading creative-tech agency Manifesto Digital early in 2016, where I spent three years leading the motion content offering.
I've had the opportunity to work on some wonderful projects in collaboration with wonderful people, producing work I'm very proud of. Work that has won many awards including The Drum RAR award for Digital Animation, the Acquia Engage award for digital campaign for Parkinson's UK and a Telly Award for Unicef - A Child's Tale.

The serendipity of a luxury rug designer discovering a 2000 year old luxury floor design is j

The campaign launched as a pretty cumbersome browser-based game in 2015. In 2016 + 2017, I lead the creative and evolved the concept, creating an engaging animated experience for young children with choose-your-own-adventure interactivity. Once signed-up, children are asked to go on a journey with Santa, delivering gifts to children all over t
- o2 - The DogSquadIn collaboration with Arena Media (Havas Media Group) I had the opportunity to co-develop and execute supporting online video content for O2’s #BeMoreDog campaign. At the time (2014) people were slow to upgrade to 4G data plans, so to accelerate adoption of the new cellular tech, we came up with a number of creative routes to showcase the power of 4G, enabling users to do more, quicker. In this short film, a music blogger tells his story of tethering to his mobile phone on-the-go, enabling him
