About me

I’m a freelance creative living and working in London — A multidisciplinary who is motivated by culturally lead projects that positively impact the social groups they are intended for. A lot of the work I do, be it self initiated or commercially, is aimed to inspire and empower those who engage with it. I spend a lot of my time in the water and I’m the co-founder of inner-city swim club Swim Dem Crew.

  BBC News Brand2020 was a year uncertainty and BBC News wanted to communicate to their younger audience that they were on their side and they were listening. We saw this as an opportunity to directly hear from young people across the country. Hosting a series of interviews to hear their hopes, dreams and concerns for the future. We then collaborated with poet Rakaya EsimeFetuga to carefully craft a poem using transcripts from the interviews. The poem was bought to life by our young people in the final film.

  McDonald's UKMcDonald’s Uk had the ambition to grow and develop their ‘always on’ social content. Their main aim was to produce social content that could live alongside campaign work, but could also work in-silo.
