About me
I have worked in photography production for e-commerce for five years including time as a stylist and now an editor for both still life and CGI homeware imagery. My interest is in interiors, designing and styling for the home.

- NOKIA LIFE LINE / BY BEYOND CARTOGRAPHYNokia is the most comprehensive and accurate mapping company in the world. And describes the market as an ‘arms race’ and an ‘accuracy war’. Nick Foster the creative lead for Advanced Design set us the challenge of discovering ‘wonderlust’ within mapping. How can we feel free and have a sense of adventure whilst still using maps? As a team of four we approached the five-week task as a challenge and physically explored ideas, experimenting with a variety of lo-fi techniques that complemented ou
- Degree Project; City Swarms'The M25 cuts through the landscape, a road to nowhere that continuously circles around London, resembling the boundary of an island for swarms of city dwellers. 'To swarm', is to move on mass; increased human swarming and finite land resources present a real challenge in contemporary times. Navigating between the territories of our online and offline movement in order to identify how one might enrich the other. Online, we access micro- and macroscopic perspectives via a simple click whilst escaping our physical location. We traverse the Internet in first class, whilst offline we usually journey for necessity disregarding any chance of serendipity in favour of efficiency. During this type of journeying, it is not uncommon to reject ones physical location by tapping away at screens or resting one's eyes. Infrastructure steadily evolves around us, predicted ahead of demand before being rolled out (faster transport, more direct routes). Through personal and/or environmental engagement, "City Swarm" proposes to transform routine "journeying" into a more enjoyable kind of travel, one possessed of its own intrinsic value - one that is more than a means to an end. In the context of routine, physical objects and experiences can be as pleasurable and immersive as the digital applications so widely seen on public transport. Central to the project is the idea that cities can be explored and enjoyed without sacrificing productivity.'
Work history
Art AssistantKode Media
- London, United KingdomPart Time
I worked under the guidance of Roya Fraser as part of her freelancing job for the production company Kode Media ltd. The job was a music promo for 'Moonshine' by Laura Doggett, who is signed to the label Sony Music Entertainment UK Ltd and has recently toured with John Newman. The day gave an insight into a working day of filming out of a studio. As the art assistant I checked off the rented prop stock that we were using for the day and helped arrange two of the main rooms being used for the shoot. One of which included forming a sunken cactus garden as a main feature and the other a basic structure in the attic of the house we were filming in, in such a way that light could be used effectively to create different shapes and shadows. This work experience confirmed the long hours for this type of work but also confirmed to me that I have the enthusiasm to counter that out and the creative elements of the job far out way the hours.

Art DirectorOMG Cameras Everywhere
- London, United KingdomPart Time
I joined the team as part of their yearly charity event, 'OMG, Cameras Everywhere'. 'OMG' is a summer camp for local London school children, each year they take on 20 of the most enthusiastic applications. The week is a whirl wind of excitement and tireless work for both the students and 'councillors'. I was a 'councillor' teaching the children in an active and involved way camera skills, art direction techniques and ideas. Other councillors were established art directors, film directors, prop and set designers, prop buyers and musicians. I learnt a lot from working and socialising with the team through out the week as well as the children. In the evenings there were long editing sessions so by Sunday there was a set of films to be proud of. Shown at Rich Mix cinema there was a mix of drama shorts, 10 second shorts, animation and music videos.
