About me
UWE Film graduate with five years of experience in content creation. I am widely experienced in production and post-production, I oversaw the end-to-end video strategy for the marketing team during my time with Babble. I have since gained expertise as a freelance videographer for a range of startup brands across a number of sectors - including fashion and B2B wellness services. In my free time, I am an amateur filmmaker. I have most recently participated in a 48-hour film challenge, where I wrote, shot and edited a short film over the course of one weekend. I have extensive experience using Adobe Premiere Pro, Media Encoder, and After Effects.
