I am a team & business leader, and a creative producer and director with a track record in delivering outstanding productions and campaigns.
I am passionate about music, technology and media, and about creating meaningful user experiences. I thrive in implementing new ideas, establishing systems, and drawing a narrative thread through a project.
I have directed and worked with global superstars, artists and renowned cultural institutions, and have built, developed and creatively nurtured teams of talented staff and freelancers to deliver projects for the world’s biggest platforms, broadcasters and brand clients.

Boiler Room made this excellent film to tease the experience, which gives an atmospheric, almost dystopian peek into the project:
