- "Return to Slygo" by Nicholas Daley at NOW GalleryCommissioned by NOW Gallery, this film narrates the story behind the fully immersive exhibition, RETURN TO SLYGO, from one of the UK’s most pioneering young fashion designers, Nicholas Daley. It celebrates the coming together of Nicholas’s multicultural Jamaican-Scottish roots with his passion for music in a multi-sensory installation. A marriage of the three core values of community, culture and craftsmanship.
- The Sound Of IthraA making-of style short-doc I directed for creative music agency, MassiveMusic via my company Don't Look Films. The film tells the story of the 'sonic-branding' of Ithra: A beautifully designed cultural institute in Dhahran named one of the 'world's greatest places to visit' by Time magazine in 2018. We used hand-drawn motion animation to bring elements of the film to life and all the music within the film was produced exclusively for the project.

Having already learned the foundations of business at the International School of Milan, studying at Cass Business School, enabled me to meticulously explore many facets of business and understand which area I wanted to focus on. The specialism courses in marketing, gave me a wide variety of skill sets applicable to areas ranging from new product development to behavioural decision-making. All of the marketing courses were key, however the extracurricular lectures by guest speakers which Cass organised were fundamental to my learning experience.
