Copywriter, Scriptwriter, Journalist & ProducerLondon, United Kingdom
About me
A versatile, multi-skilled scriptwriter, copywriter & producer. I have written scripts, online content, brochure and packaging copy for clients in travel, luxury goods, healthcare and NGOs. I also work directly with design and brand consultancies such as Wolff Olins and Weber Shandwick. Other commissioned pieces include arts and travel features for The Guardian, Backstage, The Economist and TNT Magazine. I also write screenplays for film and television and have been shortlisted for several script competitions. Aside from writing, I have extensive experience as a producer, director, development producer and edit producer in film and TV, particularly in documentaries. I have produced series and films for UK and US broadcasters (Discovery, BBC, Sundance Channel), videos for brands and charities (Unicef, Microsoft) and award-winning shorts that have screened at festivals including SXSW and BFI London. I am confident handling all aspects of the production process, from budgeting and scheduling through setting up and managing shoots both in the UK and abroad, developing and scripting films and edit producing. I am also a fluent Spanish speaker with local knowledge of Argentina and Mexico.
