About me
Producer, Self Shooting Director, and Editor, with over a decade of experience in commercial and corporate video production, in London and internationally.

I've produced work for British Airways, AstraZeneca, Jaguar Land Rover, Boehringer Ingelheim, The Barbican, and the British Museum. My work has been seen by millions, and has a strong track record of ROI.

- Ripples of Hope - AstraZeneca x Fixing UsShowing raw emotion was the one line brief for this. Easier said than done. However, we rose to the challenge. Utilising unique techniques in format, blending homemade footage with professional shoots, and putting all of my skills to use in making John and Leah as comfortable as possible, we got a glimpse into the real feelings behind the story of John's heart attack, and his remarkable recovery.
