About me
I tell stories . Here’s mine. As a teen I had a dream…of writing for the big-screen. Then BAM - the prospect of being a penniless writer and creeping London rental prices saw me ‘Fall into the Gap’ with my first (and last) full-time role in their marketing team, with a side-hustle working as a script-editor for a Production House in Soho. When the 2008 crash hit I found myself unemployed (DOUBLE WHAMMY) - cue six months biking around South East Asia and China. Back in London, I freelanced as a producer/ videographer/ editor/ motion-graphics animator/ boom-holder/ coffee-maker…I hustled hard, said yes to everything, made more mistakes than I care to remember, and created some high-quality, never to be shared, corporate videos. Tired of that corporate world, in the Summer of 2013 I set my sights on more commercial work, with one simple goal: Make content. Get it seen. 7 years in, things are going strong - I’ve produced online films and creative content for brands such as Skoda, Mitsubishi, BMW, Gap, L’Oréal, LG, Huawei, BudLight (name drop, name drop). If you’ve got a story to tell, I’d love to chat. D x Oh, and as for the dream? Screens have gotten smaller but my imagination has continued to grow and there’s a pilot episode cooking…so stay tuned.

  • BUD LIGHT - EUROS 2020
    BUD LIGHT - EUROS 2020Briefed on a Monday and going live on Saturday, Bud Light wanted to be the first brand to cash in on the excitement of the Euro fixtures draft. With 15 different options of who England would potentially be playing, we got ready for any outcome, and that was because we managed to put a freelance team together in record time and working around the clock as Kindred didn’t have the internal resources for a project like this.
  • Voice of Trans
