25 year old writer and director from London, based in Manchester. Now working on my final short film, my first film, the boxing drama 'Swarmer' (2022) enjoyed a successful festival run, whilst my second, In the Shadow of Darkness (2024), is currently in its festival stage. Alongside developing my next film, I'm also looking to increase my experience on set on larger productions, to better understand high level technical workflows.

- Pick Your Poison (SS’21)Spring/Summer 21’s instalment of a classing Achilles graphic T-Shirt. As always the original design was hand painted, with the T-Shirts produced to order. These were shot by predominantly by David Ejins on classic Portra 400 and now elusive Pro 400H (RIP). Locations span Wapping and Hyde Park. These pieces embody, at their core, what it means to be by Achilles. Taking from the traditional establishment of cultural & artistic luxury and letting it meet an accessible form, in this case a T-Shirt3
- Tragic Hero CollectionThe sole drop of 2018. Baby steps! Like me, the design features another Achilles in London. Working from original photography of the Hyde Park monument, I reduced the image to the stark version screen printed on the final design. Due to a communications hiccup, the final design is not what actually made it out. Shot in South East London, my home, this is the basic diet if fashion was food. How tragic..
