About me
I'm an experienced digital series producer/director who's worked extensively for Channel 4 Online, Snapchat Originals, YouTube, Instagram and Facebook. I cast, shoot, script, set up international shoots, write risk assessments and direct on location. I lead teams through complex, tight schedules and push them to pull off the impossible. I develop great, professional relationships with clients and work hard to ensure all teams are happy. Editorially, I have worked on ideas from conception right through to delivery; developing series' narratives, arcs, styles and tones. Production wise, my plate spinning skills are second to none. I have hired crew from around the world and kept to both large and small budgets.

    New C4 digital series featuring anonymous interviews with criminals and whistleblowers. I managed a casting team and shooting team, drew up complex safety protocols and risk assessments and worked closely with C4 lawyers. We cast vulnerable contributors whom I looked after on location and interviewed sensitively ensuring we had the right content for the edit. I directed UK and US shoots remotely, oversaw the edit and delivery of all eps.
