Award-winning video editor and producer with over twelve years of experience in short and long-form, from feature films and documentaries to music videos and commercials. Expert in leading post-production workflows from editing to VFX and colour grading, with a track record of delivering high-impact projects for global brands, including the BBC and Discovery Education.
___
My passion for editing and technology sparked at school when I ran the theatre technical crew and radio station. In 2010, aged 16, I was approached by a local production company to film and edit a series of videos for the Royal College of Pathologists.
Whilst studying at Queen Mary University of London, I oversaw post-production for the then in-house production company, Mile End Films, including an interview series for 10 Downing Street. This led to my first feature edit aged 20; Art Ache is available on Amazon Prime.
Before graduating, I was a co-recipient of Best Film at the Living British Cinema festival for Word on the Water. The London book barge can still be found near King’s Cross today (weather permitting!).
Over a decade later, I've edited hundreds of films for clients such as the BBC, Abbey Road Studios, The Guardian and Discovery Education, including award-winning projects with Hamlett Films, Child Migrant Stories and Ivy House. Now, I'm looking to the future of immersive and interactive filmmaking with Apple Vision Pro.
A trumpeter in my spare time for the London Gay Symphonic Winds and The Edlin Ensemble, my love for music directly influences every decision I make in the edit.
