I’m a filmmaker, photographer and all-rounder explorer & lover of life. Passionate about faces, places and the stories they hold, my mantra is to put the narrative back into the hands of the people who are seldom given a voice.
I have worked across development & production for both digital short-form and linear television for over 6 years. My work aims to reflect, represent and inspire its viewers through true and aspirational storytelling.
I work in: documentary, factual entertainment & development
Available for local/international commissions.
